Tanzania's Planning and Investment Budget for 2026/27, amounting to TZS 144.85 billion, aims to support a new National Investment Policy and establish five strategic Special Economic Zones (SEZs) to attract over TZS 797 billion. The budget also targets making Tanzania a leading vehicle producer in Africa by 2030 and includes the creation of Youth Industrial SEZs across six regions. Ongoing flagship projects include Hengya Cement, Airtel's 5G rollout, and Songea Sukari's sugar complex.

In Q4 2025, the Tanzania Investment and Special Economic Zones Authority reported 278 projects valued at USD 3.16 billion, significantly up from USD 1.57 billion the previous year. This investment is expected to create 71,412 jobs, with China contributing USD 950 million. The report also announced the opening of four Special Economic Zones in Bagamoyo, Kibaha, Dodoma, and Kahama, and two public-private partnership projects in Dar es Salaam worth TZS 182 billion, targeting sectors like manufacturing and mining.

According to Daily News, global investors are increasingly choosing Tanzania as a strategic investment destination due to its political stability, access to regional markets, abundant resources, reliable infrastructure, and a supportive government. These factors are seen as more significant than just tax incentives, making Tanzania an attractive option for international manufacturing companies.

Several leading Algerian companies are looking for partnerships in Tanzania's manufacturing and agricultural sectors, driven by Tanzania's growing reputation as a promising investment destination in Africa. This interest was highlighted during the ongoing 57th Algiers International Fair (FIA), where Tanzanian representatives are promoting opportunities for trade and investment.

During President Tharman Shanmugaratnam's state visit to Tanzania, the two countries signed five agreements covering taxation, trade facilitation, public service capacity building, and diplomatic cooperation. They also emphasized plans to enhance collaboration in investment, digital transformation, logistics, financial services, and industrial development, with bilateral trade reaching USD 74 million and Singaporean investments in Tanzania exceeding USD 535 million.

The Tanzania Institute of Accountancy (TIA) has outlined long-term strategies to improve education quality, research, innovation, ICT use and infrastructure as part of implementing the National Vision 2050 and government plans to develop human resources. According to TIA Chief Executive Prof. William Amos Pallangyo, speaking to journalists in Dodoma on September 7, 2026, the measures also cover the institute's activities for the 2025/26 financial year.
