Abstract

Rund 50 Jahre lang galt die Franc-Zone in West- und Zentralafrika als Hort wirtschaftlicher und politischer Stabilität. Der festgesetzte Wechselkurs des Franc CFA mit dem französischen Franc nutzte vor allem der afrikanischen Elite, die günstig in Europa einkaufen konnte, und französischen Exporteuren, die so einen gesicherten Absatzmarkt in der Franc-Zone fanden. Wachsende Gegensätze innerhalb der CFA-Zone, die drastische Abwertung des F CFA 1994 und nachlassendes Interesse Frankreichs seit der Bindung der Währung an den Euro könnten jetzt das Ende der wirtschaftspolitischen Stabilität der Franc-Zone einläuten.
