2000年以来,基于科学技术突飞猛进的发展和国际产业分工格局的深刻变化,经济全球化趋势加速深化。外国直接投资作为国际资本流动的主要方式已经成为带动新兴发展中国家经济体快速增长的重要手段之一。随着非洲大陆外国直接投资流入规模的不断增加,外资在非洲东道国经济发展中的重要性日益增加。当前外资对于非洲国家的资本形成、制度变迁、对外贸易、技术进步、可持续发展等方面都产生了一定影响。非洲国家应该权衡利弊,提高对外资的吸收能力,更好地通过利用外资实现经济发展。 Since 2000, based on the rapid development of science and technology and the profound changes in the pattern of international industrial division of labor, the trend of economic globalization has accelerated and deepened. Foreign direct investment, as the main method of international capital flow, has become one of the important means to drive the rapid growth of emerging-market economies. With the increasing inflow of foreign direct investment from the African continent, the importance of foreign investment in the economic development of African host countries is on the rise. At present, foreign investment has exerted a certain influence on the capital formation, institutional changes, foreign trade, technological progress and sustainable development of African countries. African countries should weigh the pros and cons, increase their absorptive capacity for foreign investment and make economic development better through the use of foreign investment.
