Leaders of East African Community (EAC) remark that an agreement for using one currency might be signed towards the end of 2012 as they are working hard to implement the plans made.
This was revealed by East African Community leaders that recently attended five days meeting in Arusha Tanzania.
Opening talks on using one currency, Dr. Enos Bukuku, in charge of planning and infrastructure in EAC promised to ask concerned sectors to speed up the project of having EAC currency so that agreements are signed this year.
Tharcisse Kadede, in charge of projects asserts that using one currency in EAC was planned to be implemented this year and it still can be done since the year is not yet ended.
