What do you mean by "managed" exactly?

I don't know what he means exactly but the main consequence is that the Franc CFA is pegged to the Euro. It has a big impact but I wouldn't call this "managing their economy".

I would say it has its advantages and issues but in any case, it's not being imposed on any country. Many have chosen not to use it.
