Abstract
This research work aims to analyze the nominal convergence of budgetary variables resulting from the respect of the
convergence criteria and the impact of convergence indicators on the exchange rate volatility inner the WAEMU
members States. From that end we have conducted the empirical analysis of budgetary convergence in the WAEMU zone
by using variables such are: expenditure, incomes and budgetary balances. In order to reach our goal, we have adopted
the methodology used by Barro et Salai-Martin (1992) which methodology is implemented by the European Union
through the work of Villien et al. (2003). This methodology is consisted of following in the course of the timing an indicator
of variable dispersion which may stand as a typical margin or the variance. The results show a global trend to budgetary
variables convergence. And then, we have assessed the different indicators of sigma convergence on the profitable
exchange rates differential in the WAEMU zone. The model used has revealed the existence of a mechanism of correcting
error between the desired exchange rate observed in the zone.
