Abstract: The research focused on the causes of inflation and public debt reversal in the West African Monetary Zone (WAMZ) economies. Several factors influencing public debt reversal and inflation, including weak institutions, high government spending, influence from external shock and lack of proper revenue mobilization, were discussed. The impact of these factors on the WAMZ economies has also been examined. These countries suffer from high inflationary pressures, increasing borrowing costs and slow economic growth. Policies and other methods implemented by the WAMZ economies to address these challenges have also been evaluated. The last section of the research looks at the challenges these economies face in implementing the policy responses stipulated to address public debt reversals and inflation.
