By Jaheim T. [email protected]Speaking at the 55th In-Year Convergence Council Meeting in Ngafuan said, “Meeting the convergence criteria is not a ceremonial exercise. Four member states are projected to meet all four primary convergence criteria by 2025, compared to two in 2024. Ngafuan admitted, “Although progress has been made in many countries, there are still challenges in meeting the convergence criteria in some countries, especially the inflation criteria. It is a reality check.”With July 2027 set as the new horizon for the single currency launch, Ngafuan urged decisive action. It must translate into tangible improvements in the lives of our citizens,” Tweh said at the ECOWAS Convergence Council meeting.
