总理表示，坦桑尼亚正寄希望于增加投资，以加速工业化进程并为其年轻人口创造就业机会。
Tanzania is counting on increased investment to accelerate industrialization and create jobs for its young population, the prime minister said.
作为长期经济计划的一部分，该国已将每年吸引150亿美元的外国直接投资定为目标，这大约是去年数字的三倍。
The government has targeted $15 billion in annual foreign direct investment, roughly triple last year’s figure, as part of its long-term economic plans.
姆维古卢·恩琴巴在伦敦的一个投资论坛间隙表示，政府已将资金投入铁路和港口基础设施，并扩大发电量以建立工业基地。在此基础之上，政府还降低了营商成本并加强了供应链。
Mwigulu Nchemba, speaking on the sidelines of an investment forum in London, said the government had put money into rail and port infrastructure, as well as expanding power generation to create an industrial base. This was on top of cutting the cost of doing business, and strengthening supply chains.
恩琴巴表示，不断推进的工业化将促进自然资源的本地加工，从而带来更多的就业机会。同许多非洲国家一样，坦桑尼亚的人口正在迅速增长。联合国估计，14岁或以下的年轻人占总人口的42%。总理表示，为该国所有毕业生创造就业机会的途径在于通过投资发展私营部门。
Nchemba said increased industrialization would boost local processing of natural resources leading to more employment opportunities. Tanzania, like many African countries, has a rapidly expanding population. The UN estimates 42% of people are aged 14 or under. The prime minister said the path to creating work for all the country’s school leavers rests on developing the private sector through investment.
总理对记者表示：“你根本无法全部容纳所有这些毕业生。解决就业创造问题的唯一途径就是赋能私营部门，为我们的青年创造这些空缺岗位。”坦桑尼亚拥有丰富的近海天然气资源以及能源转型和数字基础设施所需的矿产沉积物——如铜、锂和钴——以及包括黄金和钻石在内的贵金属和宝石。
“There is no way you can absorb all those graduates,” the prime minister told reporters. “The only way you can solve the issue of job creation is by empowering the private sector to create those vacancies for our youth.”Tanzania has large offshore gas resources and deposits of minerals needed for the energy transition and digital infrastructure — such as copper, lithium, and cobalt — as well as precious metals and stones, including gold and diamonds.
今年8月，该国启用了一座装机容量为2115兆瓦的水力发电厂，使其发电能力增加了一倍以上，并创造了盈余。官员表示，这可以支持电力出口和工业增长。
In August, the country commissioned a 2,115 MW hydropower plant that more than doubled its electricity generation capacity and created a surplus that officials said could support power exports and industrial growth.
坦桑尼亚同该大陆各国的政府一样，正在寻找在本地增加价值而不是出口未加工矿产的方法。
Tanzania, like governments across the continent, is looking for ways to add value locally instead of raw minerals exports.
在邻国肯尼亚，总统威廉·鲁托将通过工业化创造就业机会作为其竞选明年大选以赢得第二个任期的核心纲领。
In neighboring Kenya, President William Ruto has focused on job creation through industrialization as a key plank in his campaign to secure a second term in next year’s election.
