flag Liberia advances West Africa’s ECO currency launch by 2027, despite partial progress and ongoing fiscal challenges.

flag Liberia is advancing West Africa’s push for a single currency, the ECO, with its finance minister leading the ECOWAS Convergence Council and central bank governor chairing the WAMZ Committee. flag The region aims to launch the ECO by July 2027, with progress marked by improved economic indicators—export growth, stable reserves, and declining inflation—but only 38% of required implementation steps completed. flag Key nations including Nigeria, Ghana, and Sierra Leone are aligning policies, though fiscal imbalances and delayed reforms remain challenges. flag High-level meetings in Monrovia underscored renewed commitment to monetary integration, with leaders emphasizing fiscal discipline, digital payment systems, and regional cooperation to ensure stability and shared prosperity.
