This study examines optimality for ëight African countries of the franc zone (PAZF) for adopting a fixed exchange rate. The focus is ciil the nature of the shocks affecting the economies ofthese countries and the degree of asymmetry of the shocks compared to those~ prevailing in four countries of the ëuropean Union. The two-stages methodology, largely used under this circumstance by Charnie, DeSerres and Lalande (1994) and J. M. Goma (2000) is applied. From the observations of the real produciion, price level and money supply over the period 1989: 1 to 1998: 4, 'the estimate a vectorial system autoregression (VAR) identifies tlu:ee types of structural shocks: real and monetary demand and supply shocks. These· shocks are then
strucµ.rr..e,:;Lînto yrnmetrical and asyrrünetrical components. The results show on the one hand that, contrary to the shocks of demand, a large part of the variance of the production of the PAZF is due to the shocks of supply either in the short and long run. On the other hand, Côte d'Ivoire, Central A:frica, Chad, Senegal and Togo could be at the core of a monetary union. Moreover, each african country of the franc zone seems to be affected by shocks of supply having n;,ore common characteristics with the: mainder of the PAZF than with the european Union. Since there rnay exist mechanisms which could
facilitate the quick aùjustment of the african economies, the fixed exchange· system could be adopted ·without any prejudlce either in the short or medium tenn. Still, the PAZF must think over an· integral franc area which could free itself from a fixed
exchange system in the long run.
