非洲经济的新发展及其动力

New Developments in Africa's Economy and Its Impetus

进入21世纪,非洲经济出现了一些新特点,经济发展进入快车道,而且形成整体发展态势,出现一批本土"新兴经济体",非洲自身成为投资热土。"联合自强、自主发展"战略的实施、与世界新兴经济体尤其是金砖国家的联系加强、经济一体化的较快推进、国际市场原材料价格坚挺、非洲人口红利呈现和消费市场扩展等,是非洲经济快速发展的推动因素。但是,非洲经济发展还面临一些困难,如局部地区和国家政局动荡,多数国家单一经济结构没有得到根本改造以及存在如何处理好经济发展与改善民生之间的复杂关系等问题。综合看来,非洲经济发展中有利因素大于不利因素,其前景仍将向好。

African economy presents some new features in the 21st century:its fast development forms a collective development trend;some emerging economies are rising in African continent;Africa itself becomes a hotspot for investment.Factors promoting the African economy development include the implementation of the development strategy of 'solidarity and self- reliance',strengthening connections with the emerging economies particularly with BRICS,rapid progress of economic integration in Africa,stiffened prices of raw materials in the world market,effects of Africa's demographic dividend,and expansion of the consumer market.However,African economic development still faces difficulties:some countries and regions still suffer from political instability;the single economic structure remains fundamentally unchanged;its economic development and people's wellbeing are unbalanced.A comprehensive analysis shows favorable factors outweigh adverse ones,which indicates a promising future of Africa's economy.
