Tanzania's money supply and its changes over time can offer insights into the country's economic performance:
Net Foreign Assets:
The significant increase in net foreign assets over the past year (828%) shows a substantial inflow of foreign capital, which could be positive for Tanzania's economy. However, the one-month change indicates a decrease of 12%, which may be a short-term fluctuation.
Bank of Tanzania:
The Bank of Tanzania has seen a remarkable increase in assets over the past year (993%), but it has experienced a significant decrease in assets over one month (110%). This could be due to various factors, such as changes in central bank policies or external financial conditions.
Net Domestic Assets:
A decrease of 27% in net domestic assets over one month may indicate a reduction in domestic economic activity or a change in monetary policy. The significant decrease over the past year (161%) shows a longer-term trend.
Extended Broad Money (M3):
M3, which represents the broadest measure of money supply, has decreased by 20% over one month. This could suggest reduced liquidity in the economy, which might be associated with economic challenges or changes in financial markets.
Narrow Money Supply (M1):
M1 has decreased by 19% over one month, indicating a reduction in the most liquid forms of money. This could be a sign of decreased consumer and business spending.
Currency in Circulation:
The sharp decrease of 52% in currency in circulation over one month could be related to changes in consumer behavior, monetary policies, or banking activities. This decrease could be a cause for concern if it represents a loss of confidence in the local currency.
Foreign Currency Deposits:
The 39% decrease in foreign currency deposits over one month might indicate a change in preferences for foreign currencies or a reduction in foreign exchange reserves.
Other Deposits:
The 8% decrease in other deposits over one month and the 40% decrease over the past year could be due to various factors, including changes in saving habits and financial market conditions.
