In this context, the decision to retain the CFA franc, a freely convertible common currency that is pegged to the euro at a significantly overvalued exchange rate, is dubious. The current scheme breeds structural fiscal deficits, excessive reliance on imports, endemic corruption, money laundering, narcotics trafficking, and massive capital flight.
在这样的环境下，决定保留CFA法郎——一种以大为高估的汇率盯住欧元自由可兑换共同货币——是站不住脚的。当前机制滋生了结构性财政赤字、对进口的过度依赖、根深蒂固的腐败、洗钱、毒品走私和大规模资本外逃。
