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.

In the 2025/26 fiscal year, Tanzania's state-owned companies reported dividends totaling TZS 1.327 trillion, marking a 30% increase from TZS 1.028 trillion in the previous year. This figure, however, fell short of the TZS 1.5 trillion target set by President Samia. Twiga Minerals Corporation was the largest contributor with TZS 221.9 billion, while the Tanzania Ports Authority contributed TZS 205.5 billion to the Consolidated Fund.

The Ministry of Mining in Tanzania reported a collection of TSh 650 billion between July and December 2025, surpassing its goal for the period by 109%. This amount represents 54% of the ministry's target for the 2025-26 fiscal year, with the increase in revenue attributed to gold mining activities, according to Tanzania Affairs.

Tanzania has approved the allocation of 10% of mining sector revenue to finance advanced mineral exploration activities. This funding aims to support high-resolution surveys, identify new mineral-rich areas, attract investment, and enhance the sector's contribution to economic growth.

Tanzania's 2026/27 budget is set at TZS 62.33 trillion (USD 24 billion), reflecting a 10.3% increase from the previous year. The budget aims for a 6.3% GDP growth, with 74.2% of funding sourced from domestic revenue as grants decrease by 39.1%. Key measures for investors include reducing the deemed profit-distribution tax from 30% to 15%, a one-year income tax holiday for new businesses, and VAT exemptions on specific sectors.

The Central Bank of Tanzania has projected a GDP growth of 6.3% for 2026 and 6.6% for 2027, driven by public and private investments as well as exports. According to its latest Monetary Policy Statement for 2026/27, key sectors contributing to this growth include agriculture, mining, tourism, and construction. Inflation is expected to rise but will remain within the target range of 3-5%.
