Amathuba amakhulu alindele abatshalizimali abaqondile bakwamanye amazwe, kodwa izinkinga zezwe, imikhuba yokubolekisa yaseShayina kanye nokwephulwa kwamalungelo abantu kungase kuvimbe amandla lawo.

Ngo-2021, i-Afrika yabona ukuphindaphindeka okungakaze kubonwe ekutshalweni kwezimali okuqondile kwamanye amazwe (FDI).Ngokombiko wakamuva weNgqungquthela Yezizwe Ezihlangene Yohwebo Nokuthuthukiswa (i-UNCTAD), elandelela imizamo yokuhwebelana kwembulunga yonke emazweni asathuthuka, ukungena kwe-FDI e-Afrika kufinyelele ku-$83 billion.Leli bekuyirekhodi eliphezulu lisuka ku- $39 billion eyaqoshwa ngo-2020, lapho inkinga yezempilo ye-Covid-19 icekela phansi umnotho womhlaba.

Noma lokhu kubala u-5.2% kuphela we-FDI yomhlaba wonke, efike ku-$1.5 trillion, ukunyuka kwenani lezivumelwano kuveza ukuthi i-Afrika ishintsha ngokushesha kangakanani—kanye neqhaza abalibambile abatshalizimali bakwamanye amazwe njengento edala izinguquko.

“Sibona amathuba amahle okuthi i-United States itshale imali ezimakethe zase-Afrika ezikhula ngokushesha,” kusho u-Alice Albright, oyi-CEO ye-Millennium Challenge Corporation, isikhungo sosizo sangaphandle esasungulwa yiCongress ngo-2004.

Ngempela, i-US inokugxila okusha esifundeni, uma kucatshangelwa ukuthi uMongameli uJoe Biden uvuse iNgqungquthela Yabaholi Base-US-Africa, umcimbi wezinsuku ezintathu oqala ngoDisemba 13 eWashington DC.Isikhathi sokugcina seNgqungquthela kwaba ngo-Agasti 2014.

Nakuba i-US idlala kakhulu e-Afrika, i-Europe ibilokhu—futhi isaqhubeka nokuba—iphethe impahla enkulu yangaphandle e-Afrika, kuphawula i-UNCTAD.Amazwe amabili angamalungu e-EU anomsebenzi wabatshalizimali abaningi esifundeni yi-UK ne-France, anempahla eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-65 namaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-60, ngokulandelana.

Amanye amandla omnotho womhlaba wonke—i-China, i-Russia, i-India, iJalimane ne-Turkey, phakathi kwamanye—ayizivumelwano zokungena ezwenikazi lonke.
