African criticism did not alter no French control of the CFA system.

Evidence

Such criticisms, however, did not in any way affect the functioning of the CFA franc. France made only some cosmetic changes in the following years, while maintaining full control of the system. The issuing institutions became public bodies: in 1955, the issuing bank of French Equatorial Africa and Cameroon and that of French West Africa and Togo were created. In 1959, these two institutions were replaced respectively by the Central Bank of Equatorial African States and Cameroon (Banque centrale des États de l’Afrique équatoriale et du Cameroun, BCEAEC) and the Central Bank of West African States (Banque Centrale des États de l’Afrique de l’Ouest, BCEAO), both operating under the supervision of the French Treasury and based in Paris. — Fanny Pigeaud_ Ndongo Samba Sylla, Africa’s Last Colonial Currency, 80
