### Competitiveness Evaluation Results of French-Speaking African Countries
Based on a relatively stable political environment, the three countries have achieved steady economic development by relying on the achievements of economic reform and economic restructuring. For example, Tunisia has been committed to strengthening its economic ties with Europe. In 2008, it launched a free trade zone with the EU, which has enabled the primary, secondary, and tertiary industries in its economy to develop steadily. The Moroccan government is committed to expanding domestic demand, strengthening infrastructure construction, continuously optimizing the economic structure, improving the investment environment, and engaging in emerging industries such as information and clean energy. It has actively attracted foreign investment, and its economy has continued to grow. The Algerian government has used oil and gas revenues to implement a fiscal expansion policy, accelerate the construction of large-scale infrastructure, promote the reform of state-owned enterprises and the financial system, and increase support for small and medium-sized enterprises, resulting in steady economic growth. The average comprehensive competitiveness of French-speaking countries in South Africa ranks second, but there are obvious internal differences. The three French-speaking countries in South Africa are all island countries in the Indian Ocean. Because the three countries are located in the southwest Indian Ocean, they are important waterways connecting the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and they have a pleasant climate. Therefore, the three countries have unique locational advantages. Mauritius is sunny and has a large number of charming coastlines and coral reefs, which makes the country have unique tourist landscapes and developed tourism. At the same time, the government encourages foreign investment, there is no foreign exchange control, capital and profits can be freely remitted, and the infrastructure is complete, making the country very competitive. Madagascar is the largest island in Africa, with outstanding natural resources. Rich mineral deposits are the cornerstone of the country's development and have driven the construction of infrastructure to a certain extent. However, from 2009 to 2013, it experienced a political crisis caused by the election of a change in government, which affected the international community's aid and investment in the country and also affected the country's competitiveness. Comoros is one of the least developed countries in the world. Its economy is mainly based on agriculture and fisheries. High debt and poor infrastructure make the country less competitive. The comprehensive competitiveness of French-speaking countries in East Africa is at a medium level. French-speaking countries in East Africa are rich in mineral resources, with many natural landscapes, such as deserts, rift valleys, and rainforests, and rich in tourism resources. For example, Rwanda has considerable oil reserves, and Burundi has a large number of nickel mines. They also have an important position in geopolities. Although Djibouti is recognized as the world's least developed country by the United Nations, it has an extremely important geopolitical environment. Therefore, the country has been increasingly valued by major countries in this century, attracting a large amount of foreign investment and rapid economic development. Seychelles is located in the western Indian Ocean, with extremely convenient sea and air transportation. However, the economies of various countries are too dependent on the primary industry dominated by agriculture and animal husbandry [59]. For example, 93.6% of the population in Burundi is engaged in agriculture, and more than 80% of the population in Uganda is rural. Infrastructure construction lags behind the needs of economic development. For example, Uganda's backward transportation facilities increase the difficulty of cargo transportation. Burundi's nickel reserves rank sixth in the world, but due to power shortages, none of them have been mined.
