Present situation and development of infrastructure in Africa in recent years, Africa's economic development has made remarkable achievements, attracting
The eyes of the world. Especially in 2011 the global economy into a downturn in the background under, the African economy remains relatively strong growth momentum, the Sahara to South Africa maintained a growth rate of 5.1% and annual growth rate in 2012 may accelerate to about 5.5%, become the various regions of the world only this year's economic growth rate may be higher than the region in 2011. It can be said, as the continent with the most developing countries in Africa, good prospects for future development. But the infrastructure is backward, seriously hampered the sustainable growth and improvement of people's living standard implementation of the African economy. First, transportation infrastructure. According to the world bank, south of the Sahara
Africa per thousand square kilometers of the highway density is only 204 km, which only 25% for paved roads, far below the world average of 944 km. The entire African rural area of only about 1/3 of the population can access road. The transportation infrastructure in Africa to face higher than other developing countries, the cost of transportation, according to statistics, the highway transportation costs in Africa is 4 times that of other countries. Therefore, the city area between the lead interconnection degree is low, seriously restricting the development of internal trade in africa. At present, African exports, trade among African countries accounted for less than 10%, far lower than in Europe (60%), North America (40%) and ASEAN countries (30%) the internal trade level. Second, public utilities infrastructure. According to the data of the African Development Bank, Africa
Only 65% of the population can be used to clean water and electricity, the whole African population of less than 40%, in rural areas, electricity rate is lower, the average is only 12%. The African electricity cost is 2-3 times higher than in other countries, the price is 1.5 times the mobile phone service in other areas. In the public utility infrastructure, impact of power shortage on economic development in Africa
maximum Although Africa has solar, geothermal and other diversified water and power resources,
Has a huge power potential, but due to the inadequate development of African countries, lack of power infrastructure, electric power demand. At present, the total generating capacity of African countries is only 114 thousand MW generating capacity equivalent to a German country. However, the German population is only 82 million, Africa is faced with a population of 1 billion, electricity demand. According to the World Bank estimates that only reduce the losses caused by the shortage of power supply can be increased by 1-2 percentage points of GDP in africa.
Some analysts pointed out that Africa every year to invest $40 billion for the development of electric power project to meet local people's living and production needs of enterprises. But the current electricity investment in this area every year only $11 billion 600 million. Electricity costs in Africa and has high power supply shortage and instability problems, which seriously affected the economic development of African countries. Africa's production costs more because of the high cost of electricity increased, resulting in lack of competitiveness. In Senegal, every year at least lead to insufficient power supply plug loss 100 billion African francs income. Third, the social life of infrastructure. According to the African Development Bank data, in non
Delta, less than 40% of the population with the use of advanced medical facilities, the Internet penetration rate of only 8%, far lower than the average level of the world, the popularity of fixed telephone is lower.
The growth trend of two, Africa's infrastructure is far from the end
In recent years, African countries and relevant regional organizations have introduced a further increase
Plans and measures for African infrastructure investment. Such as infrastructure development in Africa to promote and improve the interconnection degree, promote the regional integration process, the African Union has in January 2012 by the African infrastructure development plan "(PIDA), the integration of the 2012 -2040 Africa in the existing types of multinational cross regional infrastructure development plan determined
The framework of planning, financing and overall implementation of transnational cross regional infrastructure construction project. The PIDA project mainly include energy, transportation, information and communication and cross-border water resources in four areas. PIDA of the total investment is estimated to be $360 billion. The recent stage has been formulated (20122020 years) priority development plan (PAP) project is about 68 billion
Dollars, from the field of distribution, the energy sector accounted for 59%, accounted for 38% of the traffic field, the field of water resources accounted for 2%, accounted for 1% of the field of information and communication. According to the forecast, the PAP project financing gap of $38 billion, sources of financing including official development assistance, existing infrastructure financing mechanisms for cooperation, issued bond infrastructure, providing government guarantees to private investors and sub regional organizations collection infrastructure tax and so on.
From the national situation, the beginning of 2012, the Ministry of Finance announced the annual domestic property in South Africa
The government budget is $131 billion, will be a priority for the development of infrastructure. The main project in South Africa plans to transport, fuel, water and energy infrastructure reached 42, involving a total investment of $420 billion, is expected in 2015 before the capital investment of $111 billion. Zimbabwe plans to issue bonds to raise funds for infrastructure construction, reconstruction and repair of its domestic infrastructure. According to the African Development Bank said in its 2011 Annual Report, Zimbabwe has at least 12800 kilometers of roads in need of repair, and rebuilding the country's infrastructure over the next ten years to $14 billion 200 million. For the West African country of Nigeria, want to 2020 ranks among the world's 20 biggest economies, to Brazil's existing infrastructure may need to invest more than $190 billion of funds, which accounted for 60% of Nigeria's current GDP. Due to the slowing economic growth in the period of investment in infrastructure construction can strongly stimulate economic development, Angola, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria and Senegal also announced similar plans, but a smaller scale.
The distribution of national infrastructure construction investment imbalance, the fundamental reason is that African countries in the economic scale, economic fluctuation, political stability, logistics quality, health care and skills exist huge gap. GDP size of about 3/4 of the African countries to maintain the above $100 million budget plan. Similarly, the road quality and population density are very different. There are 15 countries in Africa and Africa inland, the cost of transportation in developed countries is 4 times higher than that of imported equipment and materials, it becomes extremely complex. However, for African infrastructure investment can generate huge returns, according to McKinsey Co, an expert said, "the return of up to
Two times more than other investment returns".
Three, Africa's infrastructure construction funding gap
Lack of funding is effectively limit the pace of infrastructure construction in Africa's first
The problem. Africa's infrastructure spending at an annual growth rate of 17% from $3 billion in 1998 to $12 billion in 2008, far more than the global infrastructure investment growth. The African private sector and foreign investment accounted for 17% of the total global during this period. This growth is largely driven by non OECD increased government investment, especially from the China government investment. In addition to the traditional foreign aid, such as Brazil, India and Arabia China, many countries in recent years has become a major investor in Africa's infrastructure. According to a report pointed out that the Standard Bank of South Africa, Africa's infrastructure construction funds of 2/3 from Chinese, only in 2010 Chinese investment in the infrastructure construction of $9 billion. In addition, the private sector is still the largest single source of funds. Rapid growth in Africa and other areas has attracted many Multi-National Corporation.
Although African infrastructure investment growth significantly, but to achieve the UN Millennium Development Goals, must make up the investment gap is still very great, only the Sahara to South Africa reached 1800 billion $(2008-2014). Some analysts pointed out that Africa every year to invest $40 billion for the development of electric power project to meet local people's living and production needs of enterprises, but the current electricity investment in this area every year only $11 billion 600 million. According to the report of the African Development Bank estimates, to 2020 African middle-income countries every year need to invest in infrastructure investment funds for 10% of its GDP, in low income countries even though the required amount of investment less than middle-income countries, but the proportion of GDP accounted for the greater per year is about 15% of GDP. This means that year in Africa needs infrastructure investment of about $93 billion. According to Standard Chartered Bank in early 2012 report shows that infrastructure development in Africa each year is about $100 billion, while governments can only provide a $53 billion shortfall at $47 billion.
