Tanzania Boosts Exports to $16.9B

Tanzania’s exports of goods and services increased by 14.8% to $16.89 billion in the year ending August 2025, driven by higher earnings from gold, cereals, and tourism. Gold exports rose by 35.5% to $4.32 billion, while cereal exports doubled and tourist arrivals increased to over 2.28 million. The Bank of Tanzania attributes the growth to favorable global prices, stable inflation, improved credit to the private sector, and a strong external trade position.
