Trade Minister-designate, Alan Kyeremanten, has affirmed Ghana intends to move along with its plans to implement the West African single currency, the ECO.

According to him, Ghana still remains on the drawing board despite the unwillingness of some West African member countries to meet the 10-point convergence criteria for use of the currency.

Making the disclosure to the Appointments Committee of Parliament during his ministerial vetting, the Trade Minister-designate explained despite these stumbling blocks, Ghana intends to move ahead towards the implementation of the currency.

“We all agree that a common currency in ECOWAS will enhance trade between our countries. Unfortunately, we’ve not been able to move forward to achieve our objective because it is very difficult to be able to get all countries to achieve the convergence criteria at the same time,” he told the Appointments Committee of Parliament.

The Trade minister further added theses current impediments to the implementation would not disallow member countries from taking advantage of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement.

He explained this could be done through a much appreciable payment platform which will improve currency trading among member countries.

“I think that going forward, under the AfCFTA, there’s a new initiative called the payment settlement mechanism that allows every state party to be able to use their local currency to trade without the benefit of a common currency. So when this payment settlement mechanism fully activated, at least, temporarily, it’ll still facilitate trade as was intended by the common currency,” Alan Kyeremanten added.

The ECO when rolled out is expected to boost economic development in the West African region and improve cross-border trade through a single or common currency.

Its name was proposed and would be adopted by the West African Monetary Zone (WAMZ) and the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA) across the ECOWAS states.
