Communication has a special dimension in the euro area because the euro is a „currency without a state“. The Eurosystem needs to ensure that citizens in all member states are well informed about issues relating to central banks. Within the Eurosystem, central banks are politically independent and have a clear mandate: ensuring price stability.
These are: (i)  the Authority of Heads of States and Government - this is the political and supreme body of the zone, with the overall responsibility for the achievement of the objectives of the WAMZ;  (ii)  the Convergence Council of Ministers and Central Bank Governors - the supervisory authority of the WAMZ and its institutions;  (iii)  the Technical Committee which works in collaboration with WAMI, to facilitate the integration process;  (iv)  the West African Central Bank (WACB), when established, would be the common Central Bank of the zone, while the existing National Central Banks will be national branches of the WACB; and  (v)  WAMZ Stabilization and Cooperation Fund (SCF) to provide financial assistance to member states that may experience temporary disequilibria in their balance of payments.
