Abstract: As West African Monetary Zone (WAMZ), in Africa is working hard to achieve convergence criteria as a sign of readiness of the five aspiring member states. The issue of similarity of behaviour of macroeconomic indicators has become very important. This paper examines the long term sustainability of the union by examining the dynamics of exchange rates behaviour of the candidate countries within zone using Fractional Integration (FI) methods. Policy implications are discussed and possible outstanding policy questions are also raised.
