Budget

TZS 62.33tn FY2026/27 budget takes effect 1 July

Tanzania's FY2026/27 national budget of TZS 62.33tn — up 10.3% year-on-year — comes into force on 1 July, with new tax measures arriving alongside it. Domestic revenue is targeted to rise to 17.1% of GDP from 16.5%, and tax revenue to 13.7% from 13.2%. The heavier spending and revenue ambition raise the prospect of more domestic borrowing, a factor worth watching on the government-securities curve.
