Summary
Tanzanian economy
Over the past two decades, Tanzania has been transformed from a centrally planned economy to a market oriented system through successful
implementation of trade liberalization measures. The Government has taken deliberate steps to encourage private sector led growth through restoration of
market forces and less interference in commercial activities
In 2007, the Gross Domestic Product in real terms grew by 7.1 percent compared to 6.7 percent in 2006. The growth was mainly attributed to the increase in
agriculture; construction and industry; and service activities.
Agriculture activities grew by 4.0 percent in 2007 compared to 3.8 percent in 2005. This growth was mainly due to an increase in the growth of crop sub
activities from 4.0 percent in 2006 to 4.5 percent in 2007.
The growth rate for manufacturing sub activity increased to 8.7 percent in 2007 from 8.5 percent in 2006. This growth rate was attributed to an increase in
manufacturing; the government’s efforts to ensure accessibility of power supply to industries; and increased investment in Export Processing Zones.
Services exports comprising of travel and insurance and other business receipts rose by 14.1% in 2008. The increase was as a result of a significant increase in
travel which accounts for about 60.3% of total receipts. Despite the sharp depreciation of the shilling in October to exchange at TZS 1,300, the currency
is estimated to have appreciated against the US dollar in 2008 to average TZS 1,189.2.compared to TZS 1,245 in 2007.
