TANZANIA - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Tanzania is one of the world's poorest economies in terms of
per capita income, however, it has achieved high overall growth rates based on
gold production and tourism. Tanzania has largely completed its transition to a
liberalized market economy, though the government retains a presence in sectors
such as telecommunications, banking, energy, and mining. The economy depends on
agriculture, which accounts for more than one-quarter of GDP, provides 85% of
exports, and employs about 80% of the work force. The World Bank, the IMF, and
bilateral donors have provided funds to rehabilitate Tanzania's aging economic
infrastructure, including rail and port infrastructure that are important trade
links for inland countries. Recent banking reforms have helped increase
private-sector growth and investment, and the government has increased spending
on agriculture to 7% of its budget. The financial sector in Tanzania has
expanded in recent years and foreign-owned banks account for about 48% of the
banking industry''s total assets. Competition among foreign commercial banks
has resulted in significant improvements in the efficiency and quality of
financial services, though interest rates are still relatively high, reflecting
high fraud risk. All land in Tanzania is owned by the government, which can
lease land for up to 99 years. Proposed reforms to allow for land ownership,
particularly foreign land ownership, remain unpopular. Continued donor
assistance and solid macroeconomic policies supported a positive growth rate,
despite the world recession. In 2008, Tanzania received the world''s largest
Millennium Challenge Compact grant, worth $698 million, and in December 2012
the Millennium Challenge Corporation selected Tanzania for a second Compact.
Dar es Salaam used fiscal stimulus and loosened monetary policy to ease the
impact of the global recession. GDP growth in 2009-12 was a respectable 6% per
year due to high gold prices and increased production.
