The 1996 memorandum focused on the challenge of reforms and paid particular attention to the impact of reforms on growth, incomes, and welfare in Tanzania. The present report draws out lessons from Tanzania's development experience of the past four decades, with emphasis on the period since the last report, and assesses the imperatives for higher sustained growth and better livelihood for its citizens in the future. The background papers presented in this Country Study review and assess Tanzania's actual growth and poverty reduction performance against its large natural potential and against countries at a comparable stage of development, analyze the main reasons behind the performance record, and then draw out the strategic and institutional imperatives for exploiting the country's vast potential for sustained growth and reduction of poverty in the long and medium term. The analysis focuses on development of the private sector and its increased role in scaling up overall growth and modernization of the Tanzanian economy. One chapter focuses on the Zanzibar economy and its development, even though Zanzibar is part of the union, because the policy and institutional framework for the island are distinct enough to merit separate attention. Also presented are the statistical appendices.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOINTERNATIONAL COMPARISONSGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTMACROECONOMIC STABILIZATIONTERMS OF TRADEINTERNATIONAL TRADEREGIONAL TRADECOMMERCIAL BANK LOANSDEBT SERVICEDEBT MANAGEMENTECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTCAPITAL FORMATIONFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTSHOUSEHOLD BUDGETSPOVERTY INCIDENCECHILD MORTALITYGENDER GAPCOUNTRY RISKBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTPUBLIC INVESTMENT PROGRAMSTARIFF STRUCTURESNONTARIFF TRADE BARRIERSHUMAN CAPITALTOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITYREVENUE SOURCESINFORMAL SECTORLAND USETAX STRUCTURESBALANCE OF PAYMENTSSELF EMPLOYMENTINVESTMENT PROJECTSTAX COLLECTIONAGRICULTURAL SUBSIDIESCLOVESDEMOGRAPHYNATIONAL INCOME ACCOUNTSEXTERNAL DEBTPUBLIC FINANCE STATISTICSMONETARY TRANSFERSCASH CROPSFOOD CROPSPRODUCER PRICESMANUFACTURING ENTERPRISESCONSUMER PRICE INDEXESCOST OF LIVING INDEXESRETAIL PRICES ABSOLUTE POVERTYADMINISTRATIVE BARRIERSAGRICULTURAL INTENSIFICATIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTUREANNUAL GROWTHBALANCE OF PAYMENTSBANK LENDINGBUSINESS OPERATIONSCAPITAL ACCUMULATIONCITIZENSCOMMERCIAL BANKSCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGYCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCOMPETITIVENESSCONSUMER PRICE INDEXCORRUPTIONDEBTDEFLATORSDEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITIONDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDIRECT INVESTMENTDOMESTIC SAVINGSECONOMIC ACTIVITIESECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTELASTICITIESEMPLOYMENTEXCHANGE RATEEXPORT GROWTHEXPORTSEXTERNALITIESFAMILIESFOOD POLICY RESEARCHFOREIGN EXCHANGEGDPGDP PER CAPITAGENDER GAPSGNPGOVERNMENT EXPENDITURESGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROSS FIXED CAPITAL FORMATIONGROSS NATIONAL PRODUCTGROWTH PERFORMANCEGROWTH PROJECTIONSGROWTH RATEGROWTH RATESHEALTH CAREHIGH GROWTHHIV INFECTIONHUMAN CAPACITYHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTIMPORTSINCOME LEVELINCOME LEVELSINDUSTRIAL SECTORINFLATIONINSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKINSTITUTIONAL QUALITYINSURANCEINTEREST RATEINTEREST RATESINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTINVESTMENT RATEINVESTMENT RATESLABOR FORCELAND USELIVING STANDARDSMACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENTMACROECONOMIC PERFORMANCEMACROECONOMIC POLICYMACROECONOMIC REFORMSMACROECONOMIC STABILITYMANAGERSMARKET PRICESMEDIUM TERMMONEY SUPPLYMORTALITYNATIONAL ACCOUNTSNATIONAL INCOMENATURAL RESOURCE BASEPER CAPITA INCOMEPOLICY MESSAGESPOLICY REFORMSPOOR COUNTRIESPOPULATION GROWTHPOVERTY LINESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENTPRODUCERSPRODUCTIVITY GROWTHPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC SECTORPUPILSRAPID GROWTHREAL GDPREAL INCOMEREAL INTEREST RATESREFORM PROGRAMSRURAL AREASSAVINGSSECTORAL COMPOSITIONSECURITIESSOCIAL RESEARCHSTRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENTSTRUCTURAL CHANGESTRUCTURAL POLICIESSUSTAINABLE GROWTHSUSTAINABLE POVERTYTAX REVENUESTAXATIONTERMS OF TRADETERTIARY EDUCATIONTOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITYTRADE BALANCETRADE REGIMETRANSPARENCYURBAN POVERTYURBANIZATIONVALUE ADDEDWEALTHWorld Bank10.1596/0-8213-5061-7
