Abstract

L’objectif de ce papier est de faire le point sur l’état de la convergence nominale dans l'Union Economique et Monétaire Ouest Africaine (UEMOA). En 1999, les huit pays constitutifs de cette union ont fait vœu d’harmoniser leur politique budgétaire de manière à compléter la gestion commune de la monnaie en conformité avec les exigences de convertibilité du franc CFA. Ce processus de convergence, qui devait initialement aboutir en décembre 2003, à été reporté à fin 2005. L’analyse empirique a été menée en termes de sigma-convergence sur les huit critères que comporte le Pacte, dont le solde budgétaire de base, critère clé. Les résultats mettent en évidence une évolution globalement favorable, mais insuffisante pour espérer l’entrée en phase de stabilité en janvier 2006. Le dispositif suscite des critiques internes, sur la définition des objectifs et la vérifiabilité des résultats, mais également des critiques externes, sur l’engagement de réduction de la pauvreté et l’adéquation de l’UEMOA au concept de zone monétaire optimale.
