This latest update foresees that the Tanzanian economy will maintain its resilience by continuing to grow at about 7 percent in the coming years. If some clouds are looming on the external and fiscal horizons, the update argues that the risks they pose should be manageable. The majority of the country s top 100 mid-size enterprises believe that 2013 will be better than 2012; and 2014 better than 2013. Nevertheless, a growing consensus today is that Tanzania needs to rely more than today on private enterprises to achieve faster and more equitable growth, as private enterprises are the ones that can provide jobs, build infrastructure, and bring new technology to the local economy. Many actions are needed on the policy front, especially to improve the business environment. Tanzania has gradually opened its economy since the early 2000s; it is also true that business coming in and going out of the country remains costly. To reduce trade costs, the priority should be to transform the Port of Dar es Salaam. An efficient port is critical because approximately 90 percent of Tanzania s international trade goes through its gates. This is a welcome development for local and regional consumers and firms that heavily depend on the performance of the port in their daily endeavors.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO CAPITALACCOUNTINGAGRICULTURAL COMMODITIESAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTUREANNUAL GROWTHARREARSASYMMETRIC INFORMATIONBALANCE OF PAYMENTSBANK POLICIESBANKING SYSTEMBILATERAL TRADEBILLSBROAD MONEYBUFFERCAPITAL ACCOUNTCAPITAL FLOWSCAPITAL GOODSCAPITAL INFLOWSCENTRAL BANKCENTRAL BANK POLICIESCLIMATIC CONDITIONSCOMMERCIAL BANKSCOMMERCIAL BORROWINGCOMMODITY PRICESCOMPETITIVE EDGECOMPETITIVENESSCONSUMER GOODSCONSUMER PRICE INDEXCONSUMERSCONSUMPTION BASKETSCPICREDIT GROWTHCREDIT GUARANTEESCULTIVABLE LANDCURRENCY REGULATIONSCURRENT ACCOUNTCURRENT ACCOUNT BALANCECURRENT ACCOUNT DEFICITCURRENT ACCOUNT IMBALANCEDEBTDEBT LEVELDEBT MANAGEMENTDEBT POLICYDEBT SERVICEDEBT SUSTAINABILITYDEBT-SERVICEDEBTSDEFICITSDEPOSITSDEVALUATIONDEVELOPED COUNTRIESDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT BANKDISBURSEMENTDISEQUILIBRIUMDIVIDENDSDOMESTIC BORROWINGDOMESTIC CONSUMPTIONDOMESTIC DEMANDDOMESTIC ECONOMYDOMESTIC FINANCIAL MARKETSDOMESTIC MARKETDOMESTIC SAVINGSECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC ANALYSISECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC OUTLOOKECONOMIC PERFORMANCEECONOMIC PROJECTIONSECONOMIC RISKSECONOMIC SECTORSECONOMIC STABILITYECONOMIC THEORYECONOMIES OF SCALEEMERGING ECONOMIESEQUIPMENTEXCHANGE RATEEXCHANGE RATESEXCISE TAXESEXIT STRATEGYEXPENDITUREEXPLOITATIONEXPORT GROWTHEXPORTERSEXPORTSEXPOSUREEXTERNAL BALANCEEXTERNAL BALANCESEXTERNAL BORROWINGEXTERNAL FACTORSEXTERNAL FINANCINGEXTERNAL SHOCKSEXTERNAL TRADEFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL DISTRESSFINANCIAL SECTORFISCAL BURDENFISCAL CONSTRAINTSFISCAL DEFICITFISCAL POLICYFISHFOOD PRICEFOOD PRICESFOREIGN CAPITALFOREIGN COMPETITIONFOREIGN CURRENCYFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTGDPGLOBAL ECONOMYGLOBAL MARKETGLOBAL MARKETSGOLDGOVERNMENT EXPENDITURESGOVERNMENT SUBSIDIESGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROWTH RATEGROWTH RATESGUARANTEES FOR LOANSHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENTHUMAN DEVELOPMENTIMPORTIMPORT GROWTHIMPORTSINCOME TAXINEFFICIENCYINFLATIONINFLATION RATEINFLATION RATESINTEREST PAYMENTSINTEREST RATESINTERNAL FINANCEINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL MARKETSINTERNATIONAL PRICESINTERNATIONAL RESERVESINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSINTERNATIONAL TRADEINTERNATIONAL TRANSACTIONINTERNATIONAL TRANSACTIONSINVESTMENT CHOICESINVESTMENT CLIMATEINVESTMENT DECISIONSINVESTMENT PROJECTSLEVEL OF DEBTLEVYLOCAL BUSINESSESLOCAL CURRENCYLOCAL ECONOMYLOCAL MARKETM3MACROECONOMIC INDICATORSMARKET POWERMARKET SHAREMARKET SIZEMOBILE PHONEMOBILE PHONESMONETARY FUNDMONETARY POLICIESMONETARY POLICYNATIONAL ECONOMYNATURAL ENDOWMENTSNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCESNET EXPORTSOILOIL PRICESOPEN COUNTRYPENSIONPENSION FUNDPENSION FUNDSPENSION SYSTEMPENSIONSPER CAPITA INCOMEPER CAPITA INCOMESPOLICY MAKERSPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOPULATION GROWTHPORTFOLIOPORTFOLIO FLOWPOVERTY REDUCTIONPRIVATE CREDITPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRIVATE SECTOR CREDITPRODUCERSPRODUCTION COSTSPUBLIC DEBTPUBLIC DEFICITPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC FINANCESPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC INVESTMENTRAPID GROWTHRATE OF GROWTHRATE OF INFLATIONREAL GDPRECURRENT EXPENDITURESREGULATORY AUTHORITYREMITTANCESREPAYMENTRESERVESRETAIL PRICESRETURNSHORTFALLSHORTFALLSSLOWDOWNSUPPLY SIDESUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTARIFF BARRIERTARIFF BARRIERSTAXTAX RATESTAX REVENUESTECHNOLOGY TRANSFERSTERMS OF TRADETOTAL DEPOSITSTRADE BALANCETRADE BARRIERSTRADE OPENNESSTRADE POLICIESTRADE SECTORSTRANSPORTATION COSTSTREASURYWAGESWEALTHWHOLESALE PRICESWORLD MARKETSWORLD PRICESWorld Bank10.1596/16549
