💡 Monthly Economic Outlook - December 2025
Key Highlights: Tanzania's economy demonstrates robust growth momentum with GDP expanding at 5.2% in Q4 2025.
Inflation remains well-anchored within the Bank of Tanzania's target range at 3.4%, though food prices warrant continued monitoring
due to seasonal factors. The external sector shows strength with FDI inflows increasing 15% month-on-month, particularly concentrated
in manufacturing and mining sectors.
Investment Climate: December recorded 99 new investment projects worth USD 892 million in FDI and USD 456 million
in domestic investment. The manufacturing sector attracted the highest share (34%), followed by mining (22%) and agriculture (18%).
China, UAE, and UK remain the top source countries for foreign investment.
Outlook: Economic prospects for Q1 2026 remain positive, supported by strong agricultural output, recovering tourism
sector, and sustained investment inflows. Key risks include global commodity price volatility and regional climate patterns affecting
agricultural production.
