这是一个正在崛起的非洲面临挑战的故事。
00:16
About 10 years ago,
I spoke about an Africa,
I spoke about an Africa,
1
4360
4456
大约在十年前，我做了一个关于非洲的演讲，
00:20
an Africa of hope and opportunity,
2
8840
2696
讲了一个充满希望和机会的非洲，
00:23
an Africa of entrepreneurs,
3
11560
1936
遍布企业家的非洲，
00:25
an Africa very different from the Africa
that you normally hear about
that you normally hear about
4
13520
3456
一个与你通常所听闻的
00:29
of death, poverty and disease.
5
17000
2776
充斥着死亡、贫穷、疾病所大相径庭的非洲。
00:31
And that what I spoke about,
6
19800
2056
而我当初演讲的内容，
00:33
became part of what is known now
as the narrative of the rising Africa.
as the narrative of the rising Africa.
7
21880
5456
成为了如今这个众所周知的故事——正在崛起的非洲的一部分。
00:39
I want to tell you two stories
about this rising Africa.
about this rising Africa.
8
27360
3336
我想要告诉你两个关于这个振兴中的非洲的故事。
00:42
The first has to do with Rwanda,
9
30720
1776
第一个故事与卢旺达有关，
00:44
a country that has gone
through many trials and tribulations.
through many trials and tribulations.
10
32520
3416
一个经历了很多磨难的国度。
00:47
And Rwanda has decided to become
the technology hub, or a technology hub
the technology hub, or a technology hub
11
35960
4496
而现在，它决定要成为一个技术中心
或者说是非洲的技术中心。
00:52
on the continent.
12
40480
1336
00:53
It's a country with mountainous
and hilly terrain,
and hilly terrain,
13
41840
3016
这个国家遍布山川和丘陵，
00:56
a little bit like here,
14
44880
1216
和这里有点像，
00:58
so it's very difficult
to deliver services to people.
to deliver services to people.
15
46120
3176
所以在这里，给人们提供服务是非常艰难的。
01:01
So what has Rwanda said?
16
49320
1696
那么卢旺达说了什么？
01:03
In order to save lives,
it's going to try using drones
it's going to try using drones
17
51040
3656
为了拯救生命，卢旺达将与企业Zipline、美国UPS（全球最大的包裹递送公司）
01:06
to deliver lifesaving drugs,
vaccines and blood
vaccines and blood
18
54720
3216
以及Gavi（全球疫苗免疫联盟）合作
01:09
to people in hard-to-reach places
19
57960
2016
用无人机
给那些生活在交通不便地区的人们
01:12
in partnership with
a company called Zipline,
a company called Zipline,
20
60000
2496
01:14
with UPS, and also with the Gavi,
a global vaccine alliance.
a global vaccine alliance.
21
62520
4536
输送抢救用药、疫苗和血液。
01:19
In doing this, it will save lives.
22
67080
2376
这个举措将会拯救生命。
01:21
This is part of the type of innovation
we want to see in the rising Africa.
we want to see in the rising Africa.
23
69480
5296
这就是我们想要看到的，崛起中的非洲关于创新的其中一类。
01:26
The second story has to do with something
24
74800
2536
第二个故事，和那些
01:29
that I'm sure most of you
have seen or will remember.
have seen or will remember.
25
77360
3016
我相信你们大多数人都见过或者记得相关事情。
01:32
Very often, countries in Africa
suffer drought and floods,
suffer drought and floods,
26
80400
3896
非洲的国家常常遭受干旱和洪涝，
01:36
and it's getting more frequent
because of climate change effects.
because of climate change effects.
27
84320
3696
而随着气候变化的影响，它们正发生得越发频繁。
01:40
When this happens, they normally wait
for international appeals to raise money.
for international appeals to raise money.
28
88040
5696
当灾难发生以后，这些国家通常等待国际呼吁来筹集资金。
01:45
You see pictures of children
with flies on their faces,
with flies on their faces,
29
93760
3376
所以你会看到苍蝇围在孩子脸上的照片，
01:49
carcasses of dead animals and so on.
30
97160
2496
死去动物尸体的照片等等。
01:51
Now these countries,
32 countries, came together
32 countries, came together
31
99680
3016
如今，这32个国家一起
01:54
under the auspices of the African Union
32
102720
2456
在非洲联盟的支持下
01:57
and decided to form an organization
called the African Risk Capacity.
called the African Risk Capacity.
33
105200
5016
决意组成一个叫做“非洲风险能力机构”的组织。
02:02
What does it do?
34
110240
1216
它有什么作用呢？
02:03
It's a weather-based insurance agency,
35
111480
2096
它是一家气象保险机构，
02:05
and what these countries do
is to pay insurance each year,
is to pay insurance each year,
36
113600
4376
这些国家每年缴纳
02:10
about 3 million dollars a year
of their own resources,
of their own resources,
37
118000
2936
自身资源约300万美元的保险费，
02:12
so that in the event they have
a difficult drought situation or flood,
a difficult drought situation or flood,
38
120960
4816
因此，假使他们碰到了非常严重的干旱或洪涝，
02:17
this money will be paid out to them,
39
125800
2616
这些保险费就可以赔偿给他们，
02:20
which they can then use
to take care of their populations,
to take care of their populations,
40
128440
2736
他们也就可以用这些钱去照顾他们的人民，
02:23
instead of waiting for aid to come.
41
131200
2776
而不是等待国际援助的到来。
02:26
The African Risk Capacity
last year paid 26 million dollars
last year paid 26 million dollars
42
134000
4216
去年，非洲风险能力机构赔付了2600万美元
02:30
to Mauritania, Senegal and Niger.
43
138240
2496
给毛里塔尼亚、塞内加尔和尼日尔。
02:32
This enabled them to take care
of 1.3 million people affected by drought.
of 1.3 million people affected by drought.
44
140760
5456
这使他们有能力去照顾130万被干旱影响的人。
02:38
They were able to restore livelihoods,
45
146240
2336
他们能够恢复生计，
02:40
buy fodder for cattle,
feed children in school
feed children in school
46
148600
2696
购买喂牛的饲料，在学校里喂养孩子
02:43
and in short keep the populations home
instead of migrating out of the area.
instead of migrating out of the area.
47
151320
5776
简而言之，保护了人们的家园，而不是迁出那个地区。
02:49
So these are the kinds of stories
48
157120
1856
所以，这些就是
02:51
of an Africa ready
to take responsibility for itself,
to take responsibility for itself,
49
159000
3616
非洲已经准备好承担属于它自己的责任，
02:54
and to look for solutions
for its own problems.
for its own problems.
50
162640
3176
并且为它自己的问题寻找解决之道的故事。
02:57
But that narrative is being challenged now
51
165840
2496
然而，这个故事现在遇到了挑战
03:00
because the continent has not
been doing well in the last two years.
been doing well in the last two years.
52
168360
4816
因为非洲大陆在过去两年内一直表现不佳。
03:05
It had been growing
at five percent per annum
at five percent per annum
53
173200
2936
虽然在过去的十五年里
03:08
for the last one and a half decades,
54
176160
1936
它都是以每年5%的速度在增长，
03:10
but this year's forecast
was three percent. Why?
was three percent. Why?
55
178120
2776
但今年的预估则只有3%。为什么？
03:12
In an uncertain global environment,
commodity prices have fallen.
commodity prices have fallen.
56
180920
4176
在一个不稳定的全球环境下，商品价格下跌。
03:17
Many of the economies
are still commodity driven,
are still commodity driven,
57
185120
3176
许多经济体仍然依靠商品驱动，
03:20
and therefore their
performance has slipped.
performance has slipped.
58
188320
2560
因此他们的表现有所下滑。
03:23
And now the issue of Brexit
doesn't make it any easier.
doesn't make it any easier.
59
191480
3976
而现在 “英国退欧”一点儿都没有让这个问题变得更加轻松。
03:27
I never knew that the Brexit could happen
60
195480
3616
我从没想过“英国退欧”的事情会发生
03:31
and that it could be one of the things
that would cause global uncertainty
that would cause global uncertainty
61
199120
4136
而这也可能成为造成全球动荡的其中一个原因
03:35
such as we have.
62
203280
1296
正如我们所面临的。
03:36
So now we've got this situation,
63
204600
2176
所以现在，我们走到了这个情况
03:38
and I think it's time to take stock
64
206800
2856
我认为这也正是时候去全面审视一番
03:41
and to say what were the things
that the African countries did right?
that the African countries did right?
65
209680
4856
并且来思考非洲国家做过的哪些事情是正确的？
03:46
What did they do wrong?
66
214560
1640
哪些事情是错误的？
03:48
How do we build on all of this
and learn lessons
and learn lessons
67
216840
2456
我们如何在这一切的基础上吸取教训
03:51
so that we can keep Africa rising?
68
219320
2800
从而保证非洲持续崛起？
03:54
So let me talk about six things
that I think we did right.
that I think we did right.
69
222720
3360
那么让我来谈谈我认为我们做得对的六件事。
03:58
The first is managing
our economies better.
our economies better.
70
226720
3296
第一件事，是把我们的经济管理得更好。
04:02
The '80s and '90s were the lost decades,
when Africa was not doing well,
when Africa was not doing well,
71
230040
4256
80年代和90年代是迷失的二十年，当时非洲的状况不是很好，
04:06
and some of you will remember
an "Economist" cover
an "Economist" cover
72
234320
3616
你们或许能想起一期《经济学人》的封面
04:09
that said, "The Lost Continent."
73
237960
2016
上面写着 “失落的大陆”。
04:12
But in the 2000s, policymakers learned
74
240000
4096
但是在21世纪，决策者明白到
04:16
that they needed to manage
the macroeconomic environment better,
the macroeconomic environment better,
75
244120
4256
他们需要去更好得调控宏观经济环境，
04:20
to ensure stability,
76
248400
1536
来确保经济稳定，
04:21
keep inflation low in single digits,
77
249960
2616
抑制通货膨胀率于单位数，
04:24
keep their fiscal deficits low,
below three percent of GDP,
below three percent of GDP,
78
252600
5576
确保财政赤字较低低于GDP（国内生产总值）的百分之三，
04:30
give investors, both domestic and foreign,
79
258200
3896
给予不论国内外的投资者稳定性保证，
04:34
some stability so they'll have confidence
to invest in these economies.
to invest in these economies.
80
262120
3816
这样他们才会对投资这些经济体有信心。
04:37
So that was number one.
81
265960
1496
以上是第一件事。
04:39
Two, debt.
82
267480
1336
第二件事，债务。
04:40
In 1994, the debt-to-GDP ratio
of African countries was 130 percent,
of African countries was 130 percent,
83
268840
5696
在1994年，非洲国家债务对GDP的比例是130%，
04:46
and they didn't have fiscal space.
84
274560
2256
而且他们没有财政空间。
04:48
They couldn't use their resources
to invest in their development
to invest in their development
85
276840
3016
他们无法用自己的资源去投资于自己的发展
04:51
because they were paying debt.
86
279880
1456
因为他们都在偿还债务。
04:53
There may be some of you in this room
who worked to support African countries
who worked to support African countries
87
281360
4736
在这里也许有一部分人
为支持非洲国家的债务减免努力过。
04:58
to get debt relief.
88
286120
1296
04:59
So private creditors, multilaterals
and bilaterals came together
and bilaterals came together
89
287440
4456
所以个人债权人、多边与双向债权人走到了一起
05:03
and decided to do the Highly Indebted
Poor Countries Initiative
Poor Countries Initiative
90
291920
3616
决定发起“重债穷国倡议”
05:07
and give debt relief.
91
295560
1256
并且给予债务减免。
05:08
So this debt relief in 2005
92
296840
2096
因此在2005年，这项债务减免
05:10
made the debt-to-GDP ratio
fall down to about 30 percent,
fall down to about 30 percent,
93
298960
3936
使（非洲国家）的债务/GDP比率下降到了30%，
05:14
and there was enough resources
to try and reinvest.
to try and reinvest.
94
302920
3896
这就有了足够的资源去尝试和再投资。
05:18
The third thing was
loss-making enterprises.
loss-making enterprises.
95
306840
2456
第三件事是亏损企业。
05:21
Governments were involved in business
96
309320
2056
政府参与到了
05:23
which they had no business being in.
97
311400
2256
他们本无权参与的商业中。
05:25
And they were running businesses,
they were making losses.
they were making losses.
98
313680
3096
他们经营着企业，造成了亏损。
05:28
So some of these enterprises
were restructured,
were restructured,
99
316800
2736
所以其中一些企业被重组，
05:31
commercialized, privatized or closed,
100
319560
2416
商业化、私有化或者关闭，
05:34
and they became
less of a burden on government.
less of a burden on government.
101
322000
3200
于是，他们让政府的负担减轻了。
05:38
The fourth thing
was a very interesting thing.
was a very interesting thing.
102
326080
2400
第四件事则非常有趣。
05:41
The telecoms revolution came,
103
329200
2296
电信革命来了，
05:43
and African countries jumped on it.
104
331520
2576
非洲国家抓住了这个机会。
05:46
In 2000, we had 11 million phone lines.
105
334120
2616
在2000年，我们已经拥有了1100万根电线。
05:48
Today, we have about 687 million
mobile lines on the continent.
mobile lines on the continent.
106
336760
5336
到了今天 我们在这片大陆上大概建造了6.87亿电线。
05:54
And this has enabled us
107
342120
1816
这使得我们
05:55
to go, move forward
with some mobile technology
with some mobile technology
108
343960
2656
能够在某些非洲正领先的方面
05:58
where Africa is actually leading.
109
346640
2616
去推进一些移动技术。
06:01
In Kenya, the development
of mobile money --
of mobile money --
110
349280
2536
在肯尼亚，你们都听说过的移动支付——M-Pesa
06:03
M-Pesa, which all of you
have heard about --
have heard about --
111
351840
2776
正风靡全国。
06:06
it took some time for the world
to notice that Africa was ahead
to notice that Africa was ahead
112
354640
3456
世界花了一点时间才注意到
非洲在这项特殊技术上是领先的。
06:10
in this particular technology.
113
358120
1536
06:11
And this mobile money
is also providing a platform
is also providing a platform
114
359680
3216
这项移动支付技术
也为获取替代能源提供了一个平台。
06:14
for access to alternative energy.
115
362920
2456
06:17
You know, people who can now pay for solar
116
365400
3496
人们现在可以像支付电话费一样
06:20
the same way they pay
for cards for their telephone.
for cards for their telephone.
117
368920
4216
支付太阳能费用。
06:25
So this was a very good development,
something that went right.
something that went right.
118
373160
4520
所以这是个非常好的发展，方向是正确的。
06:30
We also invested more
in education and health, not enough,
in education and health, not enough,
119
378240
4496
同样地，我们投资了更多在教育和医疗卫生上，虽然还不够，
06:34
but there were some improvements.
120
382760
1656
但也有了一些改进。
06:36
250 million children were immunized
in the last one and a half decades.
in the last one and a half decades.
121
384440
5520
在过去的十五年里有2500万个儿童得以打了疫苗。
06:42
The other thing was
that conflicts decreased.
that conflicts decreased.
122
390520
3376
另一件事是，冲突减少了。
06:45
There were many conflicts
on the continent.
on the continent.
123
393920
2056
在这片土地上有很多很多的矛盾。
06:48
Many of you are aware of that.
124
396000
1456
有许多是你们已经知道的。
06:49
But they came down, and our leaders
even managed to dampen some coups.
even managed to dampen some coups.
125
397480
4816
但是这些矛盾已经缓和了，我们的领导人们甚至设法在抑制一些政变。
06:54
New types of conflicts have emerged,
and I'll refer to those later.
and I'll refer to those later.
126
402320
4056
新型的矛盾产生了，这个我会在之后讲。
06:58
So based on all this, there's also
some differentiation on the continent
some differentiation on the continent
127
406400
3616
基于上述所有，我也希望你们了解到
在这片非洲大陆上还存在着一些不同，
07:02
that I want you to know about,
128
410040
1456
07:03
because even as
the doom and gloom is here,
the doom and gloom is here,
129
411520
2496
因为即使这里充满了悲伤和灾难，
07:06
there are some countries --
Côte d'Ivoire, Kenya, Ethiopia,
Côte d'Ivoire, Kenya, Ethiopia,
130
414040
3976
仍然有一些国家， 例如科特迪瓦、肯尼亚、埃塞俄比亚、坦桑尼亚和塞内加尔，
07:10
Tanzania and Senegal are performing
relatively well at the moment.
relatively well at the moment.
131
418040
4280
发展得相对的不错。
07:15
But what did we do wrong?
132
423120
2136
那我们又做错了什么呢？
07:17
Let me mention eight things.
133
425280
1376
我来提提八件事。
07:18
You have to have
more things wrong than right.
more things wrong than right.
134
426680
2176
你总是必须错的比对的多。
07:20
(Laughter)
135
428880
1456
（笑）
07:22
So there are eight things we did wrong.
136
430360
2376
这里有八件事是我们做错了的
07:24
The first was that even though we grew,
we didn't create enough jobs.
we didn't create enough jobs.
137
432760
3520
一，虽然我们进步， 我们却没有创造足够的就业岗位。
07:28
We didn't create jobs for our youth.
138
436800
1896
我们没有为我们的年轻人创造就业岗位。
07:30
Youth unemployment on the continent
is about 15 percent,
is about 15 percent,
139
438720
2936
在非洲，失业青年大概占15%，
07:33
and underemployment is a serious problem.
140
441680
3040
而就业不足是一个非常严重的问题。
07:37
The second thing that we did is that
the quality of growth was not good enough.
the quality of growth was not good enough.
141
445400
5536
二，发展质量不高。
07:42
Even those jobs we created
were low-productivity jobs,
were low-productivity jobs,
142
450960
3536
就连那些我们已经创造了的就业岗位，也只是低生产率岗位，
07:46
so we moved people
from low-productivity agriculture
from low-productivity agriculture
143
454520
3496
因此我们只是把人们从低生产率的农业
07:50
to low-productivity commerce
and working in the informal sector
and working in the informal sector
144
458040
3936
转移到了低生产率的商业
07:54
in the urban areas.
145
462000
1720
而且还是在城市的非正式部门工作。
07:56
The third thing
is that inequality increased.
is that inequality increased.
146
464240
3800
三，贫富悬殊差距扩大。
08:00
So we created more billionaires.
147
468600
4976
我们造就了更多亿万富翁。
08:05
50 billionaires worth 96 billion dollars
148
473600
2696
50个亿万富翁 身价960亿美元
08:08
own more wealth than the bottom
75 million people on the continent.
75 million people on the continent.
149
476320
4840
拥有比这个大陆上7500万底层人民更多的财富。
08:13
Poverty,
150
481920
1576
贫困，
08:15
the proportion of people in poverty --
that's the fourth thing -- did decrease,
that's the fourth thing -- did decrease,
151
483520
4376
贫困人口比例——这是我要说的第四件事——确实下降了，
08:19
but the absolute numbers did not
because of population growth.
because of population growth.
152
487920
4096
但是因为人口增长，实际人数并没有降低。
08:24
And population growth is something
153
492040
2576
人口增长是一个
08:26
that we don't have enough
of a dialogue about on the continent.
of a dialogue about on the continent.
154
494640
3416
在非洲大陆上还没有好好讨论过的话题。
08:30
And I think we will need
to get a handle on it,
to get a handle on it,
155
498080
3136
而我认为我们有需要去解决这个问题，
08:33
particularly how we educate girls.
156
501240
3256
尤其是我们如何教育女孩子们。
那才是真正解决这个特殊问题的方法。
08:36
That is the road to really working
on this particular issue.
on this particular issue.
157
504520
4640
08:41
The fifth thing is that we didn't invest
enough in infrastructure.
enough in infrastructure.
158
509880
6816
五，基础设施投入不足。
08:48
We had investment from the Chinese.
159
516720
2096
我们从中国那里获得了资助。
08:50
That helped some countries,
but it's not enough.
but it's not enough.
160
518840
3216
这帮助了部分国家，可却远远不够。
08:54
The consumption of electricity
in Africa on the continent
in Africa on the continent
161
522080
3336
在非洲的撒哈拉以南地区
08:57
in Sub-Saharan Africa
is equivalent to Spain.
is equivalent to Spain.
162
525440
3576
耗电量相当于西班牙。
09:01
The total consumption
is equivalent to that of Spain.
is equivalent to that of Spain.
163
529040
3456
整体的耗电量相当于西班牙。
09:04
So many people are living in the dark,
164
532520
2656
这意味着很多人生活在黑暗中，
09:07
and as the President of the African
Development Bank said recently,
Development Bank said recently,
165
535200
3576
就如非洲发展银行行长最近说的，
09:10
Africa cannot develop in the dark.
166
538800
2280
“非洲不能在黑暗中前行”。
09:14
The other thing we have not done
167
542120
2136
还有一件事我们没完成
09:16
is that our economies
retain the same structure
retain the same structure
168
544280
5416
就是我们始终维持着
和数十年前一样的经济结构。
09:21
that we've had for decades.
169
549720
1616
09:23
So even though we've been growing,
170
551360
1656
即使我们一直在发展，
09:25
the structure of the economies
has not changed very much.
has not changed very much.
171
553040
2696
经济的机构并没有什么改变。
09:27
We are still exporting commodities,
172
555760
2576
我们仍然出口商品，
09:30
and exporting commodities is what?
It's exporting jobs.
It's exporting jobs.
173
558360
3856
而出口商业等于什么？ 等于出口就业岗位。
09:34
Our manufacturing value-added
is only 11 percent.
is only 11 percent.
174
562240
3296
我们的制造业只增值了11%。
09:37
We are not creating enough
decent manufacturing jobs for our youth,
decent manufacturing jobs for our youth,
175
565560
4536
我们没有创造够多的不错的制造业岗位给我们的年轻人，
09:42
and trade among ourselves is low.
176
570120
2616
而且我们自己间的贸易也很少。
09:44
Only about 12 percent of our trade
is among ourselves.
is among ourselves.
177
572760
3496
只有12%的贸易是在我们各国之间的。
09:48
So that's another serious problem.
178
576280
2696
这就是另一个严峻的难题。
09:51
Then governance.
179
579000
2096
接着来谈谈管理体制。
09:53
Governance is a serious issue.
180
581120
2416
管理体制是一个严重的问题。
09:55
We have weak institutions,
181
583560
2216
我们有一些弱势的机构
09:57
and sometimes nonexistent institutions,
and I think this gives way for corruption.
and I think this gives way for corruption.
182
585800
5016
有时候甚至缺乏了一些机构，在我看来这就给了腐败可趁之机。
10:02
Corruption is an issue that we have not
yet gotten a good enough handle on,
yet gotten a good enough handle on,
183
590840
5216
腐败是一个我们至今没有很好去处理的问题，
10:08
and we have to fight tooth and nail,
184
596080
2616
而我们必须尽一切所能去解决它，
10:10
that and increased transparency
in the way we manage our economies
in the way we manage our economies
185
598720
3576
透过增加我们管理经济的方式的透明度
10:14
and the way we manage our finances.
186
602320
2456
和管理我们的金融。
10:16
We also need to be wary of new conflicts,
187
604800
4736
我们同样需要警惕那些新的矛盾，
10:21
new types of conflicts,
188
609560
1936
新型的冲突，
10:23
such as we have with Boko Haram
in my country, Nigeria,
in my country, Nigeria,
189
611520
3216
比如在我的国家尼日利亚，我们和博科圣地的冲突，
10:26
and with Al-Shabaab in Kenya.
190
614760
2056
以及在肯尼亚和索马里青年党的冲突。
10:28
We need to partner
with international partners,
with international partners,
191
616840
3336
我们有必要与国际合作伙伴、发达国家，
10:32
developed countries,
to fight this together.
to fight this together.
192
620200
2856
共同打击这些势力。
10:35
Otherwise, we create a new reality
193
623080
1896
否则，我们只会建立一个全新的
10:37
which is not the type
we want for a rising Africa.
we want for a rising Africa.
194
625000
3256
却并不是我们所想要的进步的非洲。
10:40
And finally, the issue of education.
195
628280
3536
那么最后，是教育的问题。
10:43
Our education systems
in many countries are broken.
in many countries are broken.
196
631840
3296
我们许多国家的教育系统已经崩坏了。
10:47
We are not creating the types of skills
needed for the future.
needed for the future.
197
635160
4536
我们未能创造未来所有需要的技能类型。
10:51
So we have to find a way
to educate better.
to educate better.
198
639720
2640
所以我们必须找到一个更好的教育方式。
10:54
So those are the things
that we are not doing right.
that we are not doing right.
199
642920
2720
而这些，就是我们做得不对的地方。
10:58
Now, where do we go from there?
200
646240
2400
现在，我们该走向何方？
11:01
I believe that the way forward
is to learn to manage success.
is to learn to manage success.
201
649240
4696
我相信前进的道路就是学会管理成功。
11:05
Very often, when people succeed
or countries succeed,
or countries succeed,
202
653960
3736
当一个人成功了，或一个国家成功以后，
11:09
they forget what made them succeed.
203
657720
2200
他们往往会忘记是什么导致他们成功的。
11:12
Learning what you're successful at,
204
660680
2536
了解到自己成功的原因是什么，
11:15
managing it and keeping it
is vital for us.
is vital for us.
205
663240
2416
管理它并保持住 ，这对我们来说是至关重要的。
11:17
So all those things I said we did right,
206
665680
2216
所以那些我说过我们做得对的事情，
11:19
we have to learn to do it right again,
keep doing it right.
keep doing it right.
207
667920
3896
我们需要学会再做对一次，坚持正确地去作为。
11:23
Managing the economy well,
creating stability is vital,
creating stability is vital,
208
671840
3576
把经济管理好，同时建立稳定性 ，这些都是非常重要的，
11:27
getting prices right,
and policy consistency.
and policy consistency.
209
675440
3496
调控合适的价格和保证政策一致性。
11:30
Very often, we are not consistent.
210
678960
2376
我们总是前后不一致。
11:33
One regime goes out, another comes in
211
681360
2256
一个政权走了， 另一个政权来了
11:35
and they throw away even the functioning
policies that were there before.
policies that were there before.
212
683640
3456
然后他们就把就算很早之前就在那儿的运行政策都扔掉了。
11:39
What does this do?
213
687120
1256
这样会导致什么？
11:40
It creates uncertainty
for people, for households,
for people, for households,
214
688400
2376
这样会给人民、家庭、商业，
11:42
uncertainties for business.
215
690800
1376
都造成不确定性。
11:44
They don't know whether and how to invest.
216
692200
2696
他们不知道什么时候、怎么样去投资。
11:46
Debt: we must manage
the success we had in reducing our debt,
the success we had in reducing our debt,
217
694920
4336
债务上，我们一定要管理好 我们在减轻债务上的成功，
11:51
but now countries
are back to borrowing again,
are back to borrowing again,
218
699280
2536
但是现在很多国家又开始借钱了，
11:53
and we see our debt-to-GDP ratio
beginning to creep up,
beginning to creep up,
219
701840
3416
我们看到我们的债务/GDP比率又开始逐渐上涨，
11:57
and in certain countries,
220
705280
1456
在某些国家，
11:58
debt is becoming a problem,
so we have to avoid that.
so we have to avoid that.
221
706760
2496
债务正演变成一个问题，因此我们必须避免这件事发生。
12:01
So managing success.
222
709280
1456
所以要管理成功。
12:02
The next thing
is focusing with a laser beam
is focusing with a laser beam
223
710760
2656
下一个事情是
12:05
on those things we did not do well.
224
713440
1856
专注到那些我们做得不对的事情上。
12:07
First and foremost is infrastructure.
225
715320
1856
首先是基础设施。
12:09
Yes, most countries now recognize
they have to invest in this,
they have to invest in this,
226
717200
3576
是的，大多数国家现在意识到了他们应该投资基础设施，
12:12
and they are trying to do
the best they can to do that.
the best they can to do that.
227
720800
2616
他们也在试图尽最大可能去做到最好。
12:15
We must.
228
723440
1216
我们一定要做到最好。
12:16
The most important thing is power.
229
724680
1656
最重要的是电力。
12:18
You cannot develop in the dark.
230
726360
2256
你不能在黑暗中前行。
12:20
And then governance and corruption:
231
728640
2256
接着，管理体制和腐败。
12:22
we have to fight.
232
730920
1216
我们要与之搏斗。
12:24
We have to make our countries transparent.
233
732160
2776
我们要让我们的国家公开透明。
12:26
And above all, we have to
engage our young people.
engage our young people.
234
734960
3576
尤其是，我们需要聘用我们的年轻人
12:30
We have genius in our young people.
235
738560
2216
我们的年轻人拥有天赋。
12:32
I see it every day.
236
740800
1256
我每天都看得到。
12:34
It's what makes me wake up
in the morning and feel ready to go.
in the morning and feel ready to go.
237
742080
3536
这就是每天早上叫醒我并且让我整装待发的东西。
12:37
We have to unleash
the genius of our young people,
the genius of our young people,
238
745640
2376
我们必须解开我们的年轻人身上天赋的枷锁，
12:40
get out of their way,
support them to create and innovate
support them to create and innovate
239
748040
3256
为他们让路，支持他们去创造和革新
12:43
and lead the way.
240
751320
1216
并且引领他们的方向。
12:44
And I know that they will lead us
in the right direction.
in the right direction.
241
752560
2696
而我深知他们将会带领我们走向正确的方向。
12:47
And our women, and our girls:
242
755280
2176
还有我们的妇女和女孩儿们：
12:49
we have to recognize
that girls and women are a gift.
that girls and women are a gift.
243
757480
3056
我们得意识到女孩儿和妇女是一个礼物。
12:52
They have strength,
244
760560
1496
他们有优势，
12:54
and we have to unleash that strength
245
762080
2136
而我们则需要去充分发挥这种优势
12:56
so that they can
contribute to the continent.
contribute to the continent.
246
764240
2936
这样他们才可以为非洲大陆做出贡献。
12:59
I strongly believe
that when we do all of these things,
that when we do all of these things,
247
767200
3816
我坚信当我们做好了所有这些事，
13:03
we find that the rising Africa narrative
248
771040
3216
我们会发现那个崛起的非洲的故事
13:06
is not a fluke.
249
774280
1576
不是一个偶然。
13:07
It's a trend.
250
775880
1240
而是一个趋势。
13:09
It's a trend, and if we continue,
if we unleash our youth,
if we unleash our youth,
251
777720
3816
这是一个趋势，假如我们坚持，假如我们解放我们的青年
13:13
if we unleash our women,
252
781560
1336
假如我们解放我们的妇女，
13:14
we may step backwards sometimes,
253
782920
2016
我们也许偶尔会退步，
13:16
we may even step sideways,
254
784960
1896
我们也许甚至会走偏了一步，
13:18
but the trend is clear.
255
786880
1616
但这个趋势已非常明了。
13:20
Africa will continue to rise.
256
788520
2016
非洲将会继续崛起
13:22
And I tell you businesspeople
in the audience,
in the audience,
257
790560
3736
我告诉你，观众中的商人们，
13:26
investment in Africa is not for today,
is not for tomorrow,
is not for tomorrow,
258
794320
3456
对非洲的投资不是为了当下，也不是为了明天，
13:29
it's not a short-term thing,
it's a longer term thing.
it's a longer term thing.
259
797800
3256
这不是一个短期的，而是一个更长远的事情。
13:33
But if you are not invested in Africa,
260
801080
2416
但如果你不向非洲投资，
13:35
then you will be missing
261
803520
1416
那么你将会错过
13:36
one of the most important
emerging opportunities in the world.
emerging opportunities in the world.
262
804960
4256
世界上最重要的新兴机遇之一。
13:41
Thank you.
263
809240
1216
谢谢。
13:42
(Applause)
264
810480
2520
（掌声）
13:51
Kelly Stoetzel: So you mentioned
corruption in your talk,
corruption in your talk,
265
819227
2669
你在你的演讲中提到了腐败，
13:53
and you're known, well-known
as a strong anticorruption fighter.
as a strong anticorruption fighter.
266
821920
3496
而你作为一个反腐败人士是非常知名的。
13:57
But that's had consequences.
267
825440
2536
但这对你是有很大影响的。
14:00
People have fought back,
and your mother was kidnapped.
and your mother was kidnapped.
268
828000
2936
那些人反击， 你的母亲遭到绑架。
14:02
How have you been handling this?
269
830960
1560
你是如何应对这些的？
14:05
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala:
It's been very difficult.
It's been very difficult.
270
833280
2176
那是一段非常艰难的时期。
谢谢你提到了绑架我母亲的问题。
14:07
Thank you for mentioning
the issue of the kidnap of my mother.
the issue of the kidnap of my mother.
271
835480
4336
14:11
It's a very difficult subject.
272
839840
2576
这是一个很艰难的话题。
14:14
But what it means
is that when you fight corruption,
is that when you fight corruption,
273
842440
3856
但这也正说明当你与腐败斗争时，
14:18
when you touch the pockets
of people who are stealing money,
of people who are stealing money,
274
846320
3416
当你摸到了那些偷钱人的口袋时，
14:21
they don't just keep quiet.
275
849760
1856
他们不会只是保持沉默。
14:23
They fight back, and the issue for you
is when they try to intimidate you,

他们会反抗，而你得思考，当他们试图恐吓你，
14:27

277
855320
3456
你会放弃吗？还是你会继续战斗？
14:30
Do you find a way
to stay on and fight back?

你找到一个方法坚持不懈且反击吗？
14:33
And the answer that I had
with the teams I worked with

而我与我的工作团队的答案是
14:38
is we have to fight on.

我们必须继续抗争。
14:40
We have to create those institutions.
281

1816
我们必须去建立那些机构。
14:41
We have to find ways to stop these people

我们得找到方法
来阻止那些人夺走属于未来的遗产。

这就是我们所做的。
14:50
And even out of government,
we continued to make that point.

285

即使脱离政府，我们仍保持这个观点。
14:53
In our countries, nobody,
nobody is going to fight corruption
nobody is going to fight corruption
286

在我们的国家，没有人会为了我们与腐败斗争
14:57
for us but us.
287

除了我们自己。
14:59
And therefore,
that comes with consequences,
that comes with consequences,
288
887440
2216
因此，伴随着一定的后果
我们只需要尽我们所能做到最好。
15:01
