| Abstract | Humanity's history has proved that the norms like international comparisons of the sizes have always existed in order to appreciate: - the vitality of an entity to an other on the microeconomic plan, and - the performances of an economy to another on the macroeconomic plan. Like illustrates if well the theory of advantage comparatives in the International Commerce; that's why some countries are specialized in the exclusive production of some goods while these same countries prefer to import goods for which the costs of manufacture are highest. In the context of the globalisation of economy, it is important to show that developing countries are concerned by the control of international comparisons tools. So, the process of their development depend on these tools. It's why, our contributed paper tries to show the necessary conditions that these countries must to have in order to participate to the new economy. In this logic, we will take a case of West African Economic And Monetary Union in order to describe the policies applied. Equally, it will be the place to relate some difficulties that covers the United Nations System in economic indicators often used to realize comparison. |
