Guinea says it’s opting out of the ECOWAS single currency.


The 12 member West African economic bloc is set to launch the monetary union and eco currency in July 2027.


Last month ECOWAS said it was leaning towards a phased rollout, with countries meeting convergence criteria such as inflation, debt, and monetary stability joining first.

The bloc is set to meet again in December to resolve outstanding issues, particularly around the future central bank, decision-making rules, and which countries will adopt the eco first.
