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.
