Abstract: 
This paper shows how developments in Europe have been the most important 
variable in the monetary integration process in West Africa. It argues 
that the changing political landscape in Europe have altered the nature of 
incentives behind the interest of foreign stakeholders in the West African 
region. This in itself creates new opportunities for a region wide 
monetary integration programme in West Africa. The paper argues that the 
above objective can best be attained through the gradual expansion of the 
membership of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) in 
order to absorb members of the Second Monetary Zone which has been on the 
drawing board for over a decade now. The paper also makes a case for the 
European Union to support the above scheme.
