This policy paper presents the moral, economic, and practical aspects for implementing the Nilar, a transformative monetary and economic framework proposed by Africonomics and developed by social philosopher and economist Manuel Tacanho. It addresses the central and persistent source of economic injustice, instability, and impoverishment in Africa: fiat monetary systems imposed through Western statist models.

For decades, African economies have suffered under arbitrary currency devaluations, rampant inflation, forex issues, and monetary dependency—consequences of the current monetary order, the fiat dollar standard, and the broader Western racial and statist global order. The Nilar proposes a radical and principled shift from these oppressive systems toward an ethical, decentralized, and structurally just economic framework underpinned by a gold-based currency system—the Nilar.

Beyond being a sound monetary system, the Nilar is a transformative economic model designed to create a new reality of integrated, stable, and thriving African economies. It will enable Africa to restore its monetary independence, reclaim its economic sovereignty, build lasting prosperity, and establish a structurally just postcolonial socioeconomic order. In other words, the Nilar is more than a sound currency system. It is a declaration of independence and a restoration of African sovereignty and dignity.
