History
Established on signature of a treaty by heads of member states, following a study proposed by the Council of Heads of State of H-XD0228 - Union douanière et économique de l'Afrique centrale (UDEAC), Dec 1991. Retains the principles inherent in the creation of UDEAC and of Union monétaire de l'Afrique centrale (UMAC), set up 22 Nov 1972, Brazzaville (Congo Brazzaville), by 5 Central African states and by Government of France and of which Equatorial Guinea became a member as from 1 Jan 1985. UMAC is also referred to in English as 'Central African Monetary System' and 'Central African Monetary Area (CAMA)', and in French as 'Zone monétaire centrafricaine'. UMAC was absorbed into CEMAC, which took over the activities of UDEAC through a transition formalized in an agreement signed by the UDEAC Council on 5 Feb 1997, Libreville (Gabon), effective 1 Jan 1998. CEMAC comes within the framework of F-XF3711 - Pays africains de la Zone franc (PAZF), having the common currency - 'CFA franc' - of the F-XF0749 - Communauté financière africaine (CFA). All relevant treaties and conventions are deposited in the state of Chad.
