With most other countries moving away from fixed exchange rates, the issue of an adequate policy framework to ensure the sustainability of the CFA franc zone is clearly of interest to policymakers and academics. However, little academic research exists in the public domain. This book aims to fill this void, by bringing together work undertaken in the context of intensified regional surveillance, and highlighting the current challenges and the main policy requirements if the arrangements are to be carried forward. The book is based on empirical research by a broad group of IMF economists, with contributions from several outside experts.French franc areaMonetary unionsAfrica, French-speakingAfrica, French-speakingEconomic policyElectronic books.French franc area.Monetary unions332.4/966Gulde Anne-Marie970975Tsangarides Charalambos G943498International Monetary Fund.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455708803321The CFA franc zone2206905UNINA02477nam 2200577 450 991080785020332120230721034525.0(CKB)3710000000058180(EBL)3115789(SSID)ssj0001036867(PQKBManifestationID)11628654(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001036867(PQKBWorkID)11042228(PQKB)11134520(MiAaPQ)EBC3115789(Au-PeEL)EBL3115789(CaPaEBR)ebr10781848(OCoLC)922966383(EXLCZ)99371000000005818020131104d2009 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrComparing crime data in Europe official crime statistics and survey based data /Philippe Robert, editor ; contributions from Marcelo F.
