The dream of an ECOWAS currency is still alive. This was stated by Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa. He spoke at a recent event in Accra.

He also discussed the establishment of a central bank. This bank would support the ECO currency's implementation. Ablakwa sees this as crucial for West Africa's future.

The ECOWAS initiative has faced challenges over the years. However, leaders remain committed to its success. They believe it can transform the region economically.
