Why invest in Tanzania

A public briefing for people comparing Tanzania as a place to put capital.

Economic indicators

What to compare

Investors usually ask about growth, prices, trade, the currency, and labour. This page names those measures. It does not publish official figures. Current numbers belong to the National Bureau of Statistics and the Bank of Tanzania.

Indicators to check

  1. 1 Growth and prices How fast the economy is growing, and whether inflation is stable enough for a multi-year project.
  2. 2 Trade and the port Exports, imports, and Dar es Salaam’s role as a gateway for neighbouring countries.
  3. 3 Currency The Tanzanian shilling, and the foreign-exchange rules for bringing capital in and taking returns out.
  4. 4 Labour The workforce a project can hire, and the skills it will still need to train.
