According to Aminata Touré, the CFA franc no longer meets the needs of the economies of the region. “The CFA franc, de toute façon, will soon belong to the history ancienne, because it is no longer adapted to the ambitions of our economies”, she declared. It reaffirmed the government’s desire to speed up the introduction of a common currency for the ECOWAS countries: “It is for this reason that the ECOWAS is actively working on this question so that, in the shortest possible time, the new currency, which could be called the Eco, can be launched “… This declaration is part of the policy of rupture undertaken by President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, who advocates greater economic and monetary sovereignty for Senegal and its regional partners.
”The CFA franc is no longer in line with the economic ambitions of Senegal”, says Aminata Touré
