On June 23, 2026, the Euro continued to decline in value in the foreign exchange market in the country, with rates showing a decrease at CRDB and NMB banks compared to the previous day. The US Dollar remained stable during the same period, according to Nukta Africa.

On June 22, 2026, the Indian Rupee and the Kenyan Shilling strengthened against the Tanzanian Shilling compared to the rates from Thursday, June 18, 2026, while major international currencies experienced a decline, according to Nukta Africa.

Tanzania aims for a technology-driven economy with a target of a one trillion US dollar GDP. However, the technology sector currently contributes only 1.5% to the country's GDP, raising questions about its readiness for such an economic transition, according to Nukta Africa.

According to the Bank of Tanzania's May 2026 review, Tanzania's exports increased by 13.5% to USD 18.9 billion for the year ending April 2026, driven primarily by gold and tourism. The report also noted a rise in headline inflation to 4% due to higher fuel prices, a 23.6% growth in private sector credit, and an appreciation of the Shilling by 2.7%. Foreign exchange reserves reached USD 5.7 billion, sufficient to cover 4.4 months of imports.

According to Tanzania Affairs, the Bank of Tanzania is positioned to sustain the stability of the shilling due to its strong gold reserves. This stability is attributed to the leadership of President Dr. Samia, who has carefully managed initiatives to support the economy in 2026.

The European Parliament has intensified its pressure on Tanzania by passing a resolution that calls for the EU Commission to retract a €156 million funding plan due to the violence that occurred during the October 2025 elections. This action reflects the EU's response to the crisis following the elections, which resulted in fatalities.
