China Investments In Africa

EnergyNet are delighted to confirm that both H.E. Hon Minister Henry Macauley (L), Minister of Energy, Sierra Leone and H.E. Hon James Musoni (R), Minister for Infrastructure, Rwanda will be attending the 4th Annual Africa Infrastructure and Power Forum.

China is Africa’s largest trading

partner, surpassing the United States in 2009.

By 2009, 45.7% of China’s cumulative foreign aid of ¥256.29 billion had been given to

countries in Africa.

In 2012, China’s trade with Africa reached $198.5 billion,

while U.S.-African trade in 2012 was $99.8 billion.

U.S.-Africa

China.-Africa

2012

2012

China’s trade with Africa is only % of its gl bal trade total.

In 2011, China’s investment in Africa was 4.3% of its global total (Asia represented 60.9%, Latin America 16%, and Europe 11.1%).

South Africa is China’s largest trading partner in Africa, at a volume of $20.2 billion. Yet this is 4% of China’s trade with the European Union.

In 2012, the China Development Bank agreed to provide $3 billion in

loans to Ghana, which was almost 10 percent of Ghana’s GDP.

More than 80 % of China’s $93.2 billion

in imports from Africa in 2011 were crude oil, raw materials and resources.
