Nigeria, Ghana, other West African countries set to adopt single currency as ECOWAS targets launch in 2027


ECOWAS has reaffirmed plans to launch the ECO single currency in 2027. Here is what it means for Nigeria, Ghana and other West African countries.

* ECOWAS is targeting 2027 for the launch of its proposed ECO single currency.
* Nigeria, Ghana and other West African countries are part of the regional currency plan.
* The ECO will not automatically replace the naira in 2027.
* Adoption depends on countries meeting agreed economic requirements.

The transition will operate on a gradual, phased approach, beginning only with member states that successfully meet strict macroeconomic convergence criteria, such as low inflation and manageable debt.
