#dividends

Tanzania's state-owned enterprises have reported a record dividend of Sh1.3 trillion, marking a 30 percent increase in national dividends. This surge is attributed to efficiency reforms that have transformed these state firms from being reliant on subsidies to becoming significant revenue generators, according to The Chanzo.

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.
