Izibalo eziqoshwe yi-National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) zikhombise ukukhula okumangalisayo kwezivakashi ezifika ngoNhlangulana wezi-2019 kulo nyaka.
Ngempela izivakashi ezingu-25,761 zagxiviza amaphasipoti azo emadeskini abokufika kuleli Seychelles Izikhumulo Zezindiza Zamazwe Ngamazwe ngeholide ogwini lwethu.
Ukwenyuka okubhekwa njengokukhethekile kulesi sikhathi sonyaka, njengoba kungokokuqala ukuthi i- Iziqhingi zaseSeychelles bake baqopha izivakashi ezingaphezu kuka-25,000 kule nyanga.
Izibalo ezethulwe yi-NBS, ziqinisekise ukuthi izivakashi ezifikayo kusukela ekuqaleni konyaka kuze kube sekupheleni kukaJuni 2019 zilingana nezi-187,108. Lokhu kumelela ukukhula okuphawulekayo kwe-9% uma kuqhathaniswa nesikhathi esifanayo ngo-2018 njengoba isibalo sezivakashi ezirekhodwe ngaleso sikhathi sifinyelele ezivakashini eziyi-172,099.
I-Germany isalokhu iphezulu ezimakethe ezinhlanu ezenza kahle kakhulu zenyanga kaJuni 2019 njengoba izivakashi zaseJalimane eziyizi-4,087 zehla ogwini lwethu; i-United Arab Emirates (UAE) ilandela ngenani lezivakashi eziyi-3,119.
Ngenkathi izivakashi eziyi-2,110 ziqoshwe ukuthi zifike zivela e-United Kingdom (UK). Esikhundleni sesine nesesihlanu kukhona iFrance ne-Italy enenani labavakashi abayi-1,855 kanye ne-1,794, ngokulandelana.
Njengoba kubikezelwe umnyango we-Strategic Planning and Market Intelligence weBhodi Lezokuvakasha lase-Seychelles (STB), okuhlosiwe okubekwe- ku-3 kuya ku-4% - yi-STB yalo nyaka kuzokweqiwa.
Ekhuluma esithangamini nabezindaba e-Botanical House ngasekuqaleni kwanamuhla, uNkosikazi Sherin Francis oyiChief Executive ye-STB ubalule ukwaneliseka kwakhe ngokuqaphela ukuthi u-2019 nawo uzoba unyaka wokusebenza kahle embonini.
“Kuyamangaza ukubona ukuthi iSeychelles isalokhu iyindawo ehamba phambili nokuthi kule minyaka embalwa edlule indawo okuyiwa kuyo yenze kahle kakhulu unyaka wonke. UJuni uyinyanga ehamba kancane futhi besilindele ukuthi nakulo nyaka kungase kube okufanayo naphezu komsebenzi wethu wokuletha izivakashi eziningi ezweni. Izibalo zamanje zeNBS ziyasiduduza ngokwazi ukuthi sikwazile ukuqopha umlando ngenyanga kaJuni,” kusho uNkk Francis.
Okuhambisana nokwenyuka kokufika kwezivakashi ukukhula kwesivuno, ngokwezibalo zakamuva kakhulu ze-CBS (izibalo okubhekiselwa kuzo ezangoJan-May 2019), izinzuzo ezirekhodwe emisebenzini ehlobene nezokuvakasha zibonise ukuthi indawo okuyiwa kuyo ingu-6% ngaphambi konyaka odlule. I-CBS ilinganisele ukuthi imali etholwayo yezokuvakasha kusukela ngoJanuwari kuya kuMeyi 2019 yayicishe ibe yizigidigidi ezi-3.5 ze-SCR uma kuqhathaniswa ne-SCR Yezigidigidi ezi-3.3 kuphela ngesikhathi esifanayo ngo-2018.
Mayelana nokubhukha kwe-ejensi yezokuvakasha ezinyangeni ezizayo, ukwanda kwenani lokubhukha okuya phambili kulinganiselwe.
Ngokokubhuka okudluliselwe phambili, idatha etholwe ezikhungweni zezokuvakasha kuyaphawulwa ukuthi ezinyangeni ezizayo ezingu-6 zonyaka, ezimakethe ezi-5 eziphezulu isibikezelo sokukhuphuka ngo-3.9% ngokuphathelene nokubhukha okwenziwe ngalesi sikhathi ngonyaka odlule.
Intuthuko enkulu ekubhukheni kwezinkampani zezokuvakasha kwezinye izimakethe ezibalulekile ezihlanganisa iFrance, iRussia, i-UK, i-Italy ne-China kuye kwaphawulwa.
UNkk. Francis ugcizelele ukuthi i-STB izoqhubeka nokukhula ukubonakala kwabantu baseSeychelles futhi wakhuthaza uhwebo lwezokuvakasha ukuthi lugcine umsebenzi omkhulu wokumaketha ekukhangiseni izakhiwo nezinsiza zabo.
