Summary:

Tanzania’s economic program supported by the 2014–18 PSI has been marked by relatively strong macroeconomic performance, but uneven implementation of structural reforms. Recent economic performance has been mixed. Although GDP data point to continued strong growth, other high frequency data indicate a weakening of economic activity. Tax revenue collections are lower than expected and credit growth has stagnated reflecting in part banks’ rising nonperforming loans (NPLs). Inflation remains moderate, and international reserves have increased substantially.
