2024中國對外投資合作亮點：增長穩定，綠色基建引領未來 01 對外投資持續增長，東盟成重要投資方向 2024年，中國對外非金融類直接投資總額達到了1438.5億美元，同比增長了10.5%。這一增長速度在全球經濟環境複雜的背景下尤為顯著，體現了中國經濟的韌性以及國際化投資佈局的穩步推進。 從地區來看，中國對東盟地區的投資增速尤其顯著，較去年增長了12.6%。其中，新加坡、印尼、泰國等國成為主要投資目的地。這一趨勢反映出東南亞地區日益成為中國對外投資的重點市場。東南亞地區憑藉其相對穩定的政治環境、經濟增長潛力以及日益完善的基礎設施，逐漸成為中國企業重要的投資和合作夥伴。 在行業方面，2024年的對外投資主要集中在租賃和商務服務業、製造業以及批發零售業。這些行業的投資增長反映了中國企業在全球產業鏈中的佈局逐漸深化，尤其是在製造業領域，中國企業正在向更高附加值和技術含量的領域轉型，表現出全球競爭力的增強。 02 中國對外承包工程創歷史新高，綠色基建引領未來 2024年，中國的對外承包工程也實現了顯著增長。根據商務部的數據，2024年中國對外承包工程的完成營業額達到了1659.7億美元，同比增長了3.1%。新簽合同額則突破了2670億美元，同比增長了1.1%，創下歷史新高。這一數據不僅展示了中國企業在全球市場中的影響力，也表明中國企業在全球基礎設施建設中的市場份額持續擴大。 03 勞務輸出恢復性增長，為全球基礎設施建設提供支持 勞務輸出是中國對外投資合作的重要組成部分。2024年，中國派出各類勞務人員達40.9萬人，同比增長了17.9%。在外勞務人員的總數已達59.4萬人，主要集中在建築、交通運輸、倉儲和郵政等行業。隨著“一帶一路”倡議的深入實施，中國企業在全球基礎設施建設中扮演著越來越重要的角色，而中國勞務人員的輸出也與這些專案的推進息息相關。 04 一帶一路倡議持續推進，中國企業國際化步伐加快 作為推動中國對外投資合作的重要戰略，“一帶一路”倡議繼續發揮著關鍵作用。2024年，中國企業在“一帶一路”共建國家的非金融類直接投資總額達到了336.9億美元，同比增長了5.4%。這一增長體現了中國企業在共建國家投資的信心，也反映了“一帶一路”倡議帶來的巨大機遇。 05 綠色投資崛起，推動可持續發展和全球經濟轉型 隨著全球對環保和可持續發展的關注不斷加深，綠色投資已成為中國對外投資的新亮點。2024年，中國企業在綠色基建領域的投資增速明顯，尤其是在節能環保和清潔能源領域的投資大幅增長。這一趨勢不僅促進了中國企業在全球市場的技術競爭力，也為全球經濟轉型和環境保護目標的實現作出了積極貢獻。 #直接投資 #對外投資 #中國企業 #承包工程 #綠色基建 #勞務輸出 https://lnkd.in/g2aZTK7C

🌟Today marks my 10-year anniversary living in Dubai, and I wanted to share a special project that reflects my view of this incredible city—a place of growth, innovation, and home to many. Using Cinema 4D, I crafted an animation that showcases what Dubai feels like through my eyes, highlighting elements like innovation, tradition, and the adventurous spirit of the city. This video features the iconic Museum of the Future, symbolizing Dubai's commitment to innovation. It's a visual representation of how Dubai continually inspires those who call it home.  I’d love to hear your thoughts on this project and how you see Dubai!
