In this paper we explore whether the two existing currency unions in CFA Franc zone have a significant increase in trade between members. Furthermore, the impact of regional agreements which are only based on preferential trade (ECOWAS, COMESA, and SADC) is also analysed.

However, the Rose effect is more substantial in UEMOA than in CEMAC. Our results show that during their implementation the regional agreements which are only based on preferential trade (ECOWAS for example) have generated a little increase in trade compared to cou...
