Abstract:Since 2015,FDI inflow in Africa has experienced a persistent decline. The shift of regional distribution between North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa has presented a “north up,south down” posture. The shift of FDI inflows among five sub-regions has shown great differences. The growth change of FDI inflows differ markedly in five top African countries which are the most attractive to FDI. Although M&A quadrupled,the green-fields investment still accounts for the majority. Although emerging countries has been increasingly active in the investment in Africa,the developed countries are still the largest investors in Africa. In the future,with the liberalization of investment system and the privatization of state-owned assets,some African countries will attract more inflows of international investment. The FDI inflows in the service and manufacturing sectors will continue to rise. East Africa will attract more FDI flows in manufacturing. In 2015,Chinese investment flows in Africa fell slightly,and the distribution of investment is still relatively concentrated on few countries and areas. In the future,Chinese direct investment in Africa is expected to realize the restorative growth on the whole. The industrial distribution of the investment is expected to be more balanced. The cooperation mechanism between China and Africa is expected to further improve. Meanwhile,security risks in some areas will continue to exist;the pressure caused by international competition will increase further;and the negative public opinion is difficult to eliminate in a short period of time.
