Maybe imports of machine and payments...i really know last year we imported alot( just ATC planes where worth >500mil USD) ..and this puts too much pressure o the currency ...because of cashew nut exports and tourism is not good in JanuaryThose look like infrastructure projects.Why do you need a lot of USD to pour cement. You already manufacture a lot of that.
Tanzania's major trading partners (imports) are India, China, UAE, South Africa and Japan. In a one year period, Tanzanian shilling has gained its value compared to the RMB, Rand and Rupee and lost its value (by less than 3%) when compared to the Dirham and Yen.
Those currencies account for about 50% of our imports and exports. So, nothing to be worried about. The KES imports are merely 4% of our trade and keeps on declining.
The first sentence sums it all.I am not an expert in Forex, so I won't make much impact in engaging any CCM parrots who are well oiled and fully equipped to put up twists in such topics, but one thing I know, I've imported stuffs from China and India while in Tanzania and for sure everything was quoted in USD and that's the currency we used to pay.
I remember one instance where we won a tender which we had quoted using Tshs, but the project involved importing stuffs in USD, the client delayed releasing the contract, yaani within a very short time the damn Tshs had taken a beating from USD such that the original project quote Tshs amount wasn't making sense anymore and we couldn't vary due to PPRA regulations.
That's the pain of running projects in a country whose currency is volatile against dollar.....

Should be followed by ... "so I'll just shut up .."
nina mpango wa kuhamia KE mana uhuru alisema kama nikiwa na kitambulisho cha utaifa naweza kufanya shughuli zangu huko kama raia au vipi mzee baba MK254Kipindi nikiwa Tanzania rate ilikua Tsh 20 = 1 Ksh, lakini leo muamala wa Mpesa ya Voda kuja kwa Kenya, rate inatumika Tsh 23.48 = 1 Kshs
Kwa dollar ndio imebamizwa chini maana naona rate inachezea kwenye Tshs 2,320 = 1 USD
Najua waimba pambio za kusifu hamtakawia na zile kauli zenu za kusema hata Yen ya Japan iko ovyo, ila mnasahau Japan hawategemei kuagiza agiza kila kitu kutoka nje, wao wana viwanda, sasa kwa hali kama hii mfanya biashara ndani ya Tanzania anayetegemea kuagiza kutoka nje ili auze ndani lazima anaonja cha moto.

Steady and inclusive growth for all takes more time than Corrupt growth for a few7% for the last 20 years and Danganyika is still the poorest nation on earth ,tell me if your leaders have not attended the best cookery classes you can think of
One day this year i will visit TZ and see this "inclusive development" you keep talking about..Steady and inclusive growth for all takes more time than Corrupt growth for a few
Walking around Tz to findout "inclusivity of an economy" is a lame, simplistic and pedestrian way of analysis..One day this year i will visit TZ and see this "inclusive development" you keep talking about..

Great Lets Zero in on data cooking..CCM vocabulary.
We're used to such big words, yet GDP gap widens every year.
It's tragic to cook your own data, and then go ahead and believe them.
