Shortage of foreign currency in Tanzania easing, says Report

Dar es Salaam. Tanzania’s foreign currency situation is gradually improving, the powerful Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), said yesterday, attributing the trend to a rise in earnings from tourism, minerals, manufacturing, and cash crops.

In a statement released after its 228th meeting that was held on October 27, 2023, the MPC said with improvements in earnings foreign exchange reserves remained above $5 billion in July–October 2023, which was enough to cover for between four and 4.5 months of the country’s import requirements.
