The World Bank promotes integration into global value chains as the path towards development. By liberalising their respective national economies, African countries are expected to benefit from economic impulses, with more and more activities beyond resource extraction being relocated to peripheral locations and generating so-called linkages there. This analytical report focuses on the upstream oil and gas sector, showing that Africa’s hydrocarbon-rich countries do not achieve economic progress merely because of being part of global value chains. The reason for this is endogenous obstacles to investment. Services – especially in engineering and logistics – are carried out by South African firms, which bring their own equipment and staff or work in South Africa. The emerging economy therefore benefits from linkages that exploration and extraction of oil and gas in developing countries generate.

全球价值链发展的内生障碍：来自石油和天然气行业的见解

世界银行将融入全球价值链作为发展之路。通过开放各自的国民经济，非洲国家有望从经济动力中受益，越来越多的资源开采以外的活动被转移到周边地区并在那里建立所谓的联系。这份分析报告侧重于上游石油和天然气部门，表明非洲富含碳氢化合物的国家并没有仅仅因为成为全球价值链的一部分而取得经济进步。其原因是投资的内生障碍。服务——尤其是在工程和物流方面——由南非公司提供，这些公司自带设备和员工或在南非工作。
