II.D. Foreign Direct Investment: TRADE AND CAPITAL FLOWS BETWEEN CHINA AND AFRICA
| |
| China’s direct investment in Africa, as reported by the National Bureau of Statistics of China,
amounted to US$392 million in 2005, up from US$317 million in 2004. Data from other
sources show significantly higher figures: in 2004, Chinese FDI was estimated to be more
than US$900 million; total FDI in Africa was US$15 billion (Table 2). China’s Ministry of
Commerce puts China’s direct investment to Africa for 2000–06 at US$6.6 billion. Among
the 800 Chinese enterprises investing in Africa, only about 100 are state-owned. The rest are
private businesses with interests ranging from trade, manufacturing and processing, services,
and communications to agriculture and natural resource development. |

What Drives China’s Growing Role in Africa?
| |
| China’s fast-growing economic ties with Africa are attracting considerable attention. The
relationship came into the spotlight during the summit of the Forum on China-Africa
Cooperation (FOCAC) in Beijing in November 2006 and the Annual Meetings of the African
Development Bank (AfDB) in Shanghai in May 2007. While the expansion of trade and
investment between Africa and China has been generally welcomed, concerns have been
expressed about how China’s growing presence might affect African development.2 But what

III. B. State Financial Institutions: THE ROLE OF CHINA’S PUBLIC SECTOR
| |
| Among the large number of state-owned financial institutions, China Exim Bank and China
Development Bank (CDB) are the two primary agencies implementing China’s new pledge
to Africa; the former is responsible for the preferential credit component (US$5 billion) and
the latter for the FDI support fund (US$5 billion). |

IV. A. Private Traders: THE ROLE OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR
| |
| Mirroring its contributions to domestic economic activity, China’s private sector is in the
forefront of the country’s external trade and investment expansion. However, its role in
China-Africa economic relations has been much less appreciated, in part because there are no
reliable data. Understanding China’s private enterprises (including those that are joint
ventures and collectively owned) and their activities in Africa is important for assessing the
evolution of trade and capital flows between China and Africa. |

Technology and the Growing Talent Crunch!
| |
| A debate of reasonable fury has been raging since the Bureau of Labor Statistics released their latest report on procurement sector job growth. The primary point of contention is the BLS’ assertion that the “overall employment for purchasing and supply managers is expected to grow slower than the average for all occupations through the year 2014.” Adding further fuel to the “sky is falling” fire that seems to be the theme of the majority of commentaries written on this issue, is BLS’ position that the “demand for purchasing workers will be eliminated by improving software.” |
