| Summary |
1. Benin, a member of the CFA franc zone, has experienced uneven economic progress over the last several decades. Efforts to establish macroeconomic stability were successful, but progress in boosting growth and reducing poverty was uneven. The peg to the euro and the membership in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU), the level at which monetary and trade policies are conducted, leave Benin with only fiscal and structural policies as the main tools to manage an economy highly reliant on agriculture and trade with Nigeria |
