I don't understand why some people are just unnecessary pessimistic, always antagonizing anything and everything of their own even without a rational choice backup explanation.

I'm hopeful this will strengthen our currenc strength. Euro is very strong even more than d USD.
If this happens to be d end of naira, so be it. Who naira help before?

Re: ECOWAS Adopts ECO As Name Of Single Currency by Nobody: 7:01am On Jun 30, 2019
Failed on arrival, so far as the whole thing is still going to.be managed by the set of corrupt leaders we mostly have in West Africa..

Aren't these leaders that have sabotaged their respective contries' economy by enriching themselves and impoverishing their citizens?

So far as you have d same set of people, then I don't give no sh.it about policies.

Policies alone can't facilitate economic growth...

The right policies in the hands of the right decision takers DO.

The right decision takers ( Leaders ) ? That's what Africa lacks

Only way West African economy can be strong is not by single currency.

Europe that has the Euro also produces more than it imports.

Most West African countries are resource dependent and poor. Limited industrial output.

Sorry, but make we fix our economies first

Will ECO survive? Monetary union is based on strong economic fundamentals of member union. Certain things needs to be in place before implementation.
Things like sound micro economics, fiscal discipline in member states, huge export potentials in member states, political stability and peace.

All these are lacking in ECOWAS. Nigeria economy which should be about 60% of the sub-regional economy is not doing well and can't support itself talk more of supporting fragile economy of member state the same way Germany is the pillar of EURO and supporting fragile member states like Greece and others with huge debt.

The burden of ECO will be much on Nigeria and our export potential apart from oil is negligible. This will make ECO exchange with measure hard currencies to be worthless. More over, not everybody should be admitted into ECO. Requirements for admission must be set and those who meet the conditions will be admitted the same way EUROPEAN union set targets for membership admission. You must meet certain fiscal and economic and political criteria. These are to ensure stability and survival of the single currency. Ecowas should first study the European union.

OLD news really...

That’s why the West African Monetary Zone was set up in 2000, and the West African Monetary Institute was set up in 2001 to undertake technical preparations for the setting up of a common West African/ECOWAS central bank and common currency for the Zone.

The name “Eco” has always been the proposed name of any ECOWAS common currency, following in the tradition of Ecobank (which was initially envisaged as an ECOWAS-centric bank), Ecomarine (which has morphed), and Ecoair (which never got off the ground - no pun grin).
