服务业具有无污染、低能耗的特点,是近年来中非投资合作的新亮点,中国企业在金融、商贸、科技服务、电力供应等领域均进行了投资。截至2012年底,中国对非洲金融业直接投资存量已达38.7亿美元,占全部对非投资的17.8%,一定程度上弥补了当地企业建设发展资金的不足。在商贸领域,中国企业与当地公司合作开发的安哥拉国际商贸城项目已经开工,建成后将成为西南部非洲最大的商贸物流中心、会展中心和投资服务中心。当前,还有众多中国中小投资者在非洲从事农副产品加工、小商品生产等,他们提供的产品和服务与非洲人民生活息息相关,对满足非洲人民生活需求、吸纳当地就业、促进中非经贸往来发挥了积极作用。随着中非人民相互了解与认知程度的加深和中非政府间的通力合作,这些中小投资者也将进一步融入当地社会,与当地人民共享发展成果。
近年来,随着非洲各国经济实力的增强和中非关系的日益密切,非洲企业也积极开展对华投资。截至2012年,非洲国家对华直接投资达142.42亿美元,较2009年增长44%。其中,2012年直接投资额为13.88亿美元,投资来源国包括毛里求斯、塞舌尔、南非、尼日利亚等,涉及石油化工、加工制造、批发零售等行业。
中非投融资合作巩固了非洲经济发展的基础,增强了非洲自主发展能力,提升了非洲在全球经济格局中的竞争力,也推动了中国企业的国际化发展。今后,中国将继续扩大同非洲的投融资合作,落实好向非洲提供200亿美元贷款额度的承诺,重点支持双方在非洲基础设施建设、农业、制造业、中小企业发展等领域开展合作。继续积极引导中国企业在非洲建立加工和制造业基地;加大在商贸服务、交通运输及咨询管理等服务行业的投资;鼓励和支持中国企业在非洲开展多领域投资合作,支持非洲国家不断优化经济发展的外部环境。
Service industries that produce zero pollution and consume little energy have become a new highlight of China-Africa cooperation in recent years. Chinese enterprises have invested in finance, trade, science and technology services, power supply and other fields in Africa. By the end of 2012, China's direct investment in Africa's financial sector had reached US$3.87 billion, accounting for 17.8% of its total investment volume in Africa. To some extent, this was able to make up for the lack of sufficient development funds available to local enterprises. In the field of commerce and trade, the construction of the Angola International Trade Center, jointly initiated by Chinese and local enterprises, has been started. When completed, the project will be the largest commercial logistics, convention and investment service center in southwest Africa. There are now also a large number of small and medium-sized Chinese investors engaged in agricultural and sideline product processing and petty commodity production in Africa. Their products and services are closely linked with African people's livelihoods, playing an active role in meeting local needs, boosting local employment and promoting China-Africa trade contacts. As the mutual understanding between Chinese and African peoples is deepened and the cooperation between Chinese and African governments enhanced, these small and medium-sized Chinese investors will further incorporate into local society and share the fruits of development with local people.
In recent years, as the economic strength of African countries has increased and China-Africa relations have grown closer, African enterprises have started to invest in China. By the end of 2012, the volume of African countries' direct investment in China totaled US$14.242 billion, increasing by 44% over 2009 levels. Of that, the figure for 2012 was US$1.388 billion. Investing countries included Mauritius, Seychelles, South Africa and Nigeria, and their investments covered petrochemical industries, manufacturing and processing, and wholesale and retail, among other fields.China-Africa investment and financing cooperation has solidified the foundation of Africa's economic development, increased Africa's capacity of independent development, improved Africa's competitiveness in the global economic sphere, and advanced Chinese enterprises' internationalized development. In the future, China will further expand investment and financing cooperation with Africa, fulfill its commitment on the provision of US$20 billion-worth of loans to Africa, which will be used for infrastructure construction, as well as the development of agriculture, manufacturing and small and medium-sized enterprises. China will give guidance to its enterprises on the establishment of processing and manufacturing bases in Africa, and increase investment in business services, transport, consultation management and other service industries. China will also encourage its enterprises to carry out multiple-field investment cooperation in Africa, and help African countries improve their external economic development environments.
