Economic Overview & Business Opportunities

Tanzania’s Investment Future Looks Promising for The Interested Investor

As the 10th largest economy in Africa, potential investors would be curious to discover what the economic overview in Tanzania is like along with the business opportunities.

A country that makes its livelihood from agriculture, Tanzania’s economy has been slowly making the transition toward a market economy. It started doing so in 1985. Since the reforms began the country’s GDP has climbed and since the rebasing of the country’s economy in 2014, GDP grew to US$ 58 billion (2018), a growth of 7% from previous year.

 

Economic Overview in Tanzania

To encourage both domestic and foreign private investment, substantial measures had to be implemented. The Government has been taking measures since 1986 to encourage greater participation within the private sector. Some of these measures include:

  • A reduction of the budget deficit
  • An improvement in terms of monetary control
  • Significantly depreciating the exchange rate (which was overvalued)
  • Liberalising the country’s trade regime
  • Easing restrictions imposed on marketing food crops
  • Free interest rates
  • Restructuring the financial sector
  • Removal of most price controls

Moving forward, the economic overview of Tanzania looks promising. This is because the country has managed to successfully steady upward climb in economic growth in the past decade. The average economic growth hovers around 6-7% annually. It is worth noting that the poverty rate in the nation has also declined, although the high population growth rate means there are still quite several poor citizens who remain poor.
