Summary

• Until 1984, the West African Monetary Union (WAMU) consisted of six West African countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Niger, Senegal, and Togo.
• Mali withdrew from the Union in 1961 and rejoined in 1984; it is therefore excluded from this analysis, which deals with a period when it was not a member.
