NOTE:

The research and case studies presented in this report were conducted by Tanzania Investment and Consulting Group Limited (TICGL) to analyze employment trends, macroeconomic stability, and job creation dynamics in Tanzania. The study covered a sample size of 2,500 respondents, representing diverse economic sectors and geographic regions. A mixed-methods approach was employed, integrating quantitative surveys (85%), structured interviews (10%), and focus group discussions (5%) to gather both statistical data and qualitative insights. The research was conducted across six key regions: Dar es Salaam (25% of respondents), Mwanza (18%), Arusha (15%), Dodoma (14%), Mbeya (12%), and Morogoro (16%), ensuring a balance between urban and rural employment patterns.

The findings indicate that Tanzania’s workforce is 71.8% informal (25.95 million workers) and 28.2% formal (10.17 million workers), highlighting a significant divide in job security, wages, and access to social protection. Among the 2,500 surveyed individuals, formal employment accounts for 23% (550 individuals), predominantly in government (32% of formal jobs), banking and financial services (25%), manufacturing (18%), and education and healthcare (15%). On the other hand, informal employment constitutes 49% (1,170 individuals), with key sectors including agriculture (35% of informal workers), small businesses and trade (28%), transportation (15%), and casual labor (12%). The remaining 27% (650 individuals) were unemployed, with youth unemployment (ages 18–35) reaching 33%, significantly higher than the national average of 9.2%.

Employment trends indicate that formal employment is projected to rise to 38% by 2030, driven by industrialization, digital transformation, and policy reforms. However, major barriers continue to slow the transition, including limited job availability (42%), skills mismatches (26%), and bureaucratic challenges (21%). The study also found that women make up 65% of the informal workforce, primarily due to barriers in accessing formal jobs, while 72% of youth are engaged in informal employment due to limited entry-level job opportunities.

To bridge the gap between formal and informal employment, Tanzania must focus on expanding SME growth, strengthening vocational training programs, improving access to financial services for small businesses, and reducing bureaucratic hurdles for business registration. This report emphasizes the key trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping Tanzania’s employment landscape and highlights the role of public-private partnerships, investment in digital workforce expansion, and targeted policy interventions in creating a more structured and inclusive workforce by 2030.

Tanzania’s National Development Plan for 2025/26 outlines strategic priorities to sustain economic growth, enhance infrastructure, and improve social services.

The Tanzania Shilling (TZS) showed significant appreciation in December 2024, reversing the depreciation trend observed in previous months. The currency’s movement was influenced by increased foreign exchange inflows, monetary policy adjustments, and external economic conditions.

1. Exchange Rate Appreciation

• The Tanzania Shilling appreciated by 9.3% in December 2024, strengthening to TZS 2,420.84 per USD from TZS 2,659.03 per USD in November 2024.
• On an annual basis, the Shilling appreciated by 3.8%, compared to a 6.3% depreciation recorded in the previous month.
• This appreciation was one of the largest monthly gains in recent years, signaling strong demand for the Shilling and improved foreign exchange reserves​.

2. Factors Behind the Shilling’s Strengthening

The appreciation of the TZS was driven by multiple factors:
✅ Increased Foreign Exchange Inflows:

• Exports of cashew nuts, tobacco, and gold surged, bringing in more US dollars.
• Tourism earnings rose, contributing to a stronger balance of payments.
  ✅ Monetary Policy Adjustments:
• The Bank of Tanzania (BoT) intervened in the market, selling USD 2 million to stabilize the exchange rate.
• Interest rates in the Interbank Foreign Exchange Market (IFEM) improved, attracting more liquidity.
  ✅ Global Economic Conditions:
• Easing US Federal Reserve interest rates reduced pressure on emerging market currencies, benefiting the Tanzanian Shilling.

3. Impact of a Stronger Shilling

🔹 Positive Effects

• Lower import costs: A stronger TZS makes imported goods, fuel, and raw materials cheaper, helping to reduce inflationary pressures.
• Improved investor confidence: A stable currency encourages foreign direct investment (FDI) and supports economic growth.
• Stronger foreign reserves: The BoT’s foreign exchange reserves rose to USD 5,500.5 million in December 2024, covering 4.5 months of imports, aligning with EAC and SADC benchmarks.

🔹 Potential Risks

• Reduced export competitiveness: A stronger TZS could make Tanzania’s exports more expensive, potentially slowing export growth.
• Impact on debt servicing: If Tanzania holds foreign-denominated debt, a strengthening shilling could affect repayment costs depending on hedging strategies.

Key Takeaways:

• The TZS appreciated by 9.3% in one month, reaching TZS 2,420.84 per USD, driven by strong exports, foreign exchange inflows, and monetary policy interventions.
• Foreign reserves improved to USD 5,500.5 million, covering 4.5 months of imports.
• While the stronger Shilling helps lower import costs and inflation, it may affect export competitiveness in the long run.

The Bank of Tanzania’s monetary policy remains crucial in balancing currency stability, inflation control, and economic growth​

Implications for Credit, Savings, and Economic Growth

In December 2024, Tanzania’s interest rates showed mixed movements, reflecting shifts in monetary policy and banking sector dynamics. The overall lending rate declined to 15.17% from 15.67%, making credit more affordable, while deposit rates rose to 8.33% from 8.18%, incentivizing savings. The spread between short-term lending and deposit rates narrowed to 6.12 percentage points, down from 7.02% in December 2023, signaling increased banking sector efficiency. These trends suggest a pro-growth monetary policy stance, aimed at boosting investment and economic activity while maintaining financial stability​

The interest rates in Tanzania, as reported in the Bank of Tanzania's Monthly Economic Review (January 2025), are as follows:

Lending and Deposit Interest Rates (December 2024)

1. Overall Lending Rate:
   • 15.17%, down from 15.67% in November 2024.

Interest Rate Spread

• The spread between short-term lending and deposit rates narrowed to 6.12 percentage points from 7.02 percentage points in December 2023.

The changes in interest rates reflect key economic and monetary policy dynamics in Tanzania

1. Declining Lending Rates (15.17% from 15.67%)

• A lower lending rate means credit is becoming cheaper, making it easier for businesses and individuals to borrow.
• This suggests monetary easing, where the Bank of Tanzania (BoT) is supporting economic growth by making loans more accessible.
• The increase in negotiated lending rates (12.83%), however, indicates that some banks are charging higher rates based on risk assessment, suggesting credit risk concerns in certain sectors.

2. Rising Deposit Rates (8.33% from 8.18%)

• Higher deposit rates encourage savings, helping banks to attract more funds.
• The increase in negotiated deposit rates (10.39%) suggests that banks are competing more for deposits, possibly due to:
  • Higher demand for liquidity.
  • The need to fund loan growth.

3. Narrowing Interest Rate Spread (6.12% from 7.02%)

• A lower spread means the difference between lending and deposit rates is shrinking, which usually implies:
  • More efficiency in the banking system.
  • Increased competition among banks, forcing them to offer better rates to depositors while reducing borrowing costs.

4. Implications for the Economy

• Encourages borrowing: More businesses and individuals can take loans for investment and consumption.
• Supports economic growth: Easier access to credit can drive investments, job creation, and productivity.
• Sustains inflation stability: If lending is growing without excessive inflation, the economy can expand sustainably.
• Indicates liquidity adjustments: BoT is managing liquidity by influencing rates, ensuring banks have enough funds to lend.

Overall Takeaway

The trend suggests a pro-growth monetary policy stance, with lower borrowing costs stimulating economic activities, while banks adjust their deposit rates to maintain liquidity and profitability. However, higher negotiated lending rates in some cases suggest that banks remain cautious about credit risks in certain sectors.
