世界银行敦促几内亚利用开采地球上最大的铁矿石储备的收入来实现多元化并建设更强大的经济。
The World Bank has urged Guinea to use the revenues from the exploitation of the largest iron ore reserve on earth to diversify and build a stronger economy.
世界银行负责西非和中非事务的副行长奥斯曼·迪亚加纳周一在首都科纳克里表示：“我们必须问自己的问题不仅仅是几内亚将出口多少矿石，还有西曼杜将帮助创造多少就业、投资和新的经济机会。”他说：“西曼杜为几内亚提供了历史性机遇，代表着几内亚潜在的经济转折点。”
“The question we must ask ourselves is not just how much ore Guinea will export, but how many jobs, investments and new economic opportunities Simandou will help create,” World Bank Vice President for Western and Central Africa Ousmane Diagana said in Conakry, the capital, on Monday. “Simandou offers a historic opportunity and represents a potential economic turning point for Guinea,” he said.
今年上半年，几内亚从西芒杜矿场运送了680万吨铁矿石，该矿场于11月开始生产。
Guinea shipped 6.8 million tons of iron ore in the first half of this year from the Simandou mines, which began production in November.
1号和2号区块由宝武Winning Consortium Simandou控制，并由中国宝武钢铁集团等中国公司支持。总部位于伦敦的力拓公司和中国铝业公司（简称中铝）拥有3号和4号区块。几内亚政府持有每个实体15%的股份，并持有管理铁路和港口基础设施的公司15%的股份。
Blocks 1 and 2 are controlled by Baowu Winning Consortium Simandou, backed by Chinese companies including China Baowu Steel Group. London-based Rio Tinto Plc and Aluminum Corp. of China, known as Chinalco own blocks 3 and 4. The Guinea government holds a 15% stake in each entity and another 15% stake in the company managing the rail and port infrastructure.
根据国际货币基金组织的数据，采矿业预计将使几内亚今年的经济增长率从2025年的6.7%进一步提高到明年的9.3%。但失业率和贫困率仍然是一个障碍，世界银行估计2025年失业率分别为5.2%和33%。
Mining is expected to lift Guinea’s economic growth to 8.7% this year and further to 9.3% next year from 6.7% in 2025, according to the International Monetary Fund. But unemployment and poverty remain a hurdle, estimated at 5.2% and 33% respectively in 2025 by the World Bank.
迪亚加纳是在与几内亚建立的30亿美元新国家合作伙伴关系下，为农业、能源和税收管理投资提供3.208亿美元支持仪式上发表上述讲话的。2027-33年。
Diagana was speaking at theg ceremony of a $320.8 million support, for investment in agriculture, energy and tax administration, under a $3 billion new country partnership with Guinea, spanning 2027–33.
新协议恰逢几内亚西芒杜2040年国家发展计划的实施，该计划的目标是到未来十年结束时在各个行业投资3000亿美元。
The new pact coincides with the implementation of Guinea’s Simandou 2040 national development plan, which targets to invest $300 billion in various sectors by the end of the next decade.
“西芒杜已经进入生产，但利害关系不仅仅是开采矿产资源，”经济，财政和预算部长玛丽亚马西雷西拉说。她说：“我们的目标是通过在几内亚创造附加值，发展我们的生产和加工能力，将这些财富转化为可持续的共同繁荣。
“Simandou has entered production but the stakes go beyond merely exploiting a mineral resource,” Minister of Economy, Finance and Budget Mariama Ciré Sylla said. “The ambition is to transform this wealth into sustainable shared prosperity, by creating added value in Guinea, developing our production and processing capabilities, she said.
