The starting and take off of the West African single money, known as "Eco" has been put off four times, in 2003, 2005, 2009 and 2015, because of the powerlessness of the West African nations to agree to all the four essential union criteria all the while and on the reasonable premise.
The joining criteria incorporate A solitary digit swelling rate; the monetary shortage of not more than four percent; deficiency financing not more than 10 percent of the earlier year's assessment incomes; and gross outer stores that can give import cover for at least three months.
Talking on the topic of the meeting, "Reevaluating the fate of keeping money and fund and long lasting learning", Bakis said that a solitary cash is bad for the area given the diversities of the way of life and economies of the nations in the district.
He included that solitary cash thought was no longer catalyst in the light of current patterns in the advanced back and the experience of Europe with the 'Euro'. Talking further to Vanguard on the sidelines of the gathering, Bakis expressed: "The single money is bad on the grounds that the nations, the way of life and the economies are excessively unique, as in Europe, to dissolve it down in one cash."So every nation ought to keep its own particular money or its own economy. What you can do is to utilise the blockchain innovation of the bitcoin, to make a parallel cash for exchange. So suppose if Nigeria needs to export something to Zambia, you can utilise that parallel cash, which today is in US dollar. Yet, today you can make another cash and that is the pleasant thing about the blockchain innovation, you can continue making monetary standards."
