当前非洲地区投资环境分析

Africa's oil and gas investment climate

2010年以来,非洲地区总体局势基本稳定,但局部地区武装政变和恐怖袭击等事件仍时有发生,对投资环境和地区稳定造成了较大影响。在全球经济缓慢复苏的带动下,非洲经济在金融危机后恢复增长,部分资源国在油价回升的推动下经济增长较快。为吸引外资参与油气领域的投资,非洲地区资源国开始重启油气招标活动,2010年以来,非洲国家对外招标活动明显增加。2010年,非洲主要资源国继续加大对外开放,通过推出产量提升方案和大规模投资计划来吸引外国投资者。但同时,部分资源国对本国资源的保护力度仍不断加强,政府通过直接干预资产交易,提高外资合作门槛等方式最大限度地争取自身利益。

Africa basically became stable in 2010,but in some areas armed coups and terrorist attacks occurred,with a negative impact on the investment climate and regional stability.Slow recovery of the global economy from the financial crisis slowed Africa's economic recovery,but some of Africa's resource economy countries recovered quickly because of the rise in oil prices.To attract foreign investment in oil and gas,African oile xporters restarted auctioning exploration and production rights.Foreign bidding in these auctions increased significantly in 2010.Africa's major resource exporters mounted large-scale investment projects to attract foreign investors.At the same time some of those exporters strengthened government control to protect domestic resources,such as by intervening in asset transactions to maximize their interest.
