非洲经济发展的新态势

African Economy in Face of Challenges

受世界经济不景气和大宗商品价格下跌的影响,自2014年以来,非洲经济增速明显放缓,从之前年均增长5%下降到3%左右。但是,非洲经济仍有不少亮点:增速仅次于亚洲,是全球经济增长较快的地区,在全球经济增长最快的10个国家中,有6个非洲国家;1/3的非洲国家在包容性增长方面取得了积极进展;数字经济在非洲一些国家兴起。面对世界经济不确定性、债务负担加重以及新冠肺炎疫情等风险挑战,非洲国家纷纷倡导经济多元化、积极推进非洲一体化,并加强与以中国为代表的新兴经济体的合作。非洲崛起的势头没有也不会改变,未来有可能成为全球制造业中心和世界经济新引擎。

Affected by the global economic recession and the falling commodity prices,African economic growth has slowed significantly from an average of 5% in the previous 10 years to about 3% since 2014.However,African economic growth rate is second only to Asia,and it is still the fastest growing region in the world.About six African countries often rank among the top 10 fastest-growing countries in the world.Currently,one-third of African countries have made positive progress in economic transformation,and a number of African countries such as Kenya and Rwanda have made new progress in digital economy.Of course,the African economy is challenged by risks such as the uncertainty of the world economy,an increase in debt burden,and the COVID-19.Looking forward to the future,the momentum of African rise and renaissance will not change,and it may even become a global manufacturing center and a new economic engine.
