Abstract

Born 73 years ago, exactly on December 26, 1945, the day France ratified the Bretton Woods agreements, the CFA franc is the currency adopted by 14 African states and for years the subject of controversy at the local level as well as in France itself. . For some months the debate has become international and now this often criticized currency will give way to a new common currency called Eco.
