Abstract:
Born 73 years ago, exactly on December 26, 1945, the day France ratified the Bretton Woods agreements, the CFA franc now disappears to be replaced by the Eco. Opponents and supporters bounce between colonial heritage as an instrument of monetary slavery and an instrument of guarantee for those who adopt it. This is combined with the question debated several times, which often takes on ideological connotations, relating to the fact that various currents have always seen in the CFA franc the emblem of neo-colonialism for which, however tiring, the adoption of a new single and independent currency it finally appears to them as a concrete step in the direction of real autonomy.
