Abstract

RESUME:La présente contribution analyse les expériences d’inflation dans les pays de la CommunautéÉconomique des États de l’Afrique de l’Ouest (CEDEAO) dans une perspective de création demonnaie unique. Les résultats montrent d’une part, une convergence nominale bien perceptiblede l’inflation et d’autre part, des prix relatifs nationaux assez variables. Ainsi, si l’évolutionsouhaitée de l’inflation autour de la norme communautaire de 5% d’inflation est vertueuse, etdonc synonyme d’une diminution des coûts de transaction, nous trouvons aussi qu’il y a toutlieu de s’interroger sur les externalités qui résulteraient des hétérogénéités nationales du pointde vue de la variabilité relative des prix nationaux.
