The significance of Chinese private-sector investment is already visible in the burgeoning manufacturing sector in some parts of Africa, and the trend will continue to grow in the near future. The underlying force behind this trend is the increased pressure of industrial restructuring in coastal China, a force that drives some labor-intensive firms to relocate to other parts of the developing world, including Africa. African host country governments can respond to this phenomenon with proactive development policies and strategies to maximize private Chinese investment for the benefit of their own economies.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOADVANCED COUNTRIESAFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONSAMOUNT OF CAPITALBANK LOANSBUSINESS ASSOCIATIONSBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS LEADERSBUSINESS PARTNERSBUSINESS PERFORMANCEBUSINESS PLANNINGBUSINESS SUSTAINABILITYCAPITAL FLOWCAPITAL FLOWSCASH FLOWCENTRAL BANKSCITIESCOLLABORATIONCOMMERCIAL LAWSCOMPARATOR COUNTRIESCONFIDENTIALITYCONSUMER GOODSCREDIBILITYCUSTOMS UNIONDATA SYSTEMSDECISION MAKINGDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESDISCLOSUREDOMESTIC ECONOMYDOMESTIC INVESTORSDOMESTIC MARKETDOMESTIC MARKETSDUE DILIGENCEECONOMIC COMPETITIONECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC SECTORSELITESEMERGING ECONOMIESEMERGING MARKETSEMPLOYMENTEXCHANGE CONTROLEXPORT MARKETFINANCIAL CONSTRAINTSFINANCIAL CRISESFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL SUPPORTFOREIGN COMPANIESFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGN EXCHANGEFOREIGN EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONFOREIGN FIRMSFOREIGN INVESTORSFOREIGN TRADEFREE TRADEGOVERNMENT INVESTMENTGOVERNMENT OWNERSHIPGOVERNMENT POLICIESGOVERNMENT SUPPORTGROUP OF INVESTORSHOME COUNTRYHOST COUNTRIESHOST COUNTRYHOST ECONOMIESHOST GOVERNMENTHOST GOVERNMENTSINCOMEINCOME GROWTHINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL INVESTMENTINTERNATIONAL MARKETINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSINTERNATIONAL TRADEINVESTINGINVESTMENT CLIMATEINVESTMENT CLIMATE ASSESSMENTINVESTMENT DECISIONINVESTMENT DECISIONSINVESTMENT ENVIRONMENTINVESTMENT POLICYINVESTMENT PROCEDURESINVESTMENT PROJECTSINVESTMENT PROMOTIONJOB CREATIONJOINT VENTUREJOINT VENTURESLABOR COSTSLABOR FORCELABOR MANAGEMENTLABOR MARKETSLABOR PRODUCTIVITYLABOR RELATIONSLABOR SHORTAGESLABOR STANDARDSLACK OF TRANSPARENCYLEARNINGLEGAL FRAMEWORKLOCAL BUSINESSLOCAL MARKETLONG-TERM LOANMANUFACTURING INDUSTRIESMARKET ACCESSMARKET COMPETITIONMARKET DEMANDSMEDIAMINIMUM WAGEMOTIVATIONNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCESNOMINAL WAGESOIL PRICESOUTPUTOWNERSHIP STRUCTUREPOLITICAL LEVELSPOTENTIAL INVESTORSPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRIVATE INVESTORPRIVATE INVESTORSPRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENTPROFITABILITYPROGRAMSPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC POLICYREGULATORY REQUIREMENTSRENTSRETURNSSAFETYSAVINGSSECURITY CONCERNSSERVANTSSHAREHOLDERSSHAREHOLDINGSTOCKSSUPPLIERSSWAPTAXTAX INCENTIVESTAX REVENUESTECHNICAL NEEDSTECHNOLOGICAL GAPSTECHNOLOGY TRANSFERTERMS OF CAPITALTHIRD WORLDTRACK RECORDSTRADE PROTECTIONTRADINGTRANSPARENT INVESTMENTWAGESWORKING CONDITIONSWORLD INVESTMENT REPORTWORLD MARKETWORLD MARKET INTEGRATIONWORLD MARKETSWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-6311
