摘要

本研究探讨了国际资本流动在撒哈拉以南非洲(SSA)可持续发展目标(SDGs)融资中的作用。研究使用了 41 个撒哈拉以南非洲国家 2000 年至 2018 年的数据,并采用了系统广义矩法(System GMM),考察了外国直接投资(FDI)和汇款对可持续发展目标在分类层面(经济、社会和环境可持续性)和综合层面(可持续发展目标指数)的影响。研究结果强调了国际资本流动作为撒哈拉以南非洲国家重要融资来源的关键意义。在分类层面上,外国直接投资对经济和社会可持续性做出了贡献,但对环境可持续性产生了负面影响。相反,从分类层面来看,汇款对经济和社会可持续性有积极的促进作用。然而,国际资本流动对总体可持续发展目标指数的影响并不显著。这些结果突出表明,撒哈拉以南非洲地区的决策者有必要制定战略,最大限度地发挥外国直接投资的效益,同时解决其对环境可持续性的不利影响。此外,这些结果还强调了加强旨在引导汇款用于可持续投资的政策的重要性,从而推动可持续发展目标的实现。敦促各国政府通过对现代技术和适当标准的投资,优先提高环境问题的监管能力,在环境保护和经济需求之间取得平衡。此外,政府应优先考虑透明度、公众参与和强有力的执行机制。鼓励环境友好型外国投资以及促进区域和国际合作也是有效管理当地环境挑战的关键步骤。

Financing sustainable development goals in Sub‐Saharan Africa: Does international capital flows matter?
This study investigates the role of international capital flows in financing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). Using data from 41 SSA countries from 2000 to 2018 and employing the System Generalized Method of Moments (System GMM), the research examines the impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and remittances on the SDGs across disaggregated levels (economic, social, and environmental sustainability) and the aggregated level (SDGI). The findings underscore the crucial significance of international capital flows as essential financing sources for SSA countries. FDI emerges as a contributor to economic and social sustainability at the disaggregated level, yet it exhibits negative effects on environmental sustainability. Conversely, remittances are shown to positively contribute to economic and social sustainability at the disaggregated level. However, the impact of international capital flows on the aggregate SDGI is found to be insignificantly positive. These results highlight the necessity for policymakers in SSA to devise strategies that maximize the benefits of FDI while addressing its adverse effects on environmental sustainability. Furthermore, they emphasize the importance of strengthening policies aimed at directing remittances towards sustainable investments, thereby advancing the achievement of the SDGs. Governments are urged to prioritize enhancing regulatory capacities in environmental matters through investments in modern technologies and appropriate standards, aiming to strike a balance between environmental protection and economic needs. Additionally, they should prioritize transparency, public participation, and robust enforcement mechanisms. Encouraging environmentally friendly foreign investments and promoting regional and international cooperation are also crucial steps towards effectively managing local environmental challenges.
