在美国、欧洲和日本的主要基础设施建设公司存在严重的产能过剩的时候，世界银行、欧盟投资银行、美国进出口银行、非洲开发银行以及其他的公共投资基金应该为非洲进行大规模的基础设施建设支出贷款，以修建道路、发电厂、港口以及通信系统。
At a time when the major infrastructure companies of the US, Europe, and Japan will have serious excess capacity, the World Bank, the European Investment Bank, the US Export-Import Bank, the African Development Bank, and other public investment funds should be financing large-scale infrastructure spending in Africa, to build roads, power plants, ports, and telecommunications systems.
