Strategy

DIRA 2050 launches 1 July with a $47bn strategic-project spine

Tanzania's long-term development blueprint, DIRA 2050, is set to launch on 1 July, anchored by a roughly USD 47bn pipeline of strategic projects. LNG, Kabanga Nickel, Engaruka soda ash and the Liganga to Mchuchuma iron-and-coal complex headline the capital programme as Vision 2025 draws to a close. The scale of the ambition; and the financing behind it; places fresh attention on domestic borrowing and the government-securities curve.

Markets

DSE adds 1.35% in Week 25 as turnover jumps 81%

Signal

Equity turnover jumped 81.3% w/w to TZS 48.99bn; the All-Share added 1.35%.

Why it matters

A liquidity surge on a normally thin market points to renewed participation; AFRIPRISE, EABL and NMB led the breadth.

What to watch

Whether turnover and breadth carry into Week 26 or fade back to typical thin volumes.

Rates

364-day T-bill yield at 6.92% as the long end steepens

Signal

The 364-day weighted yield rose ~54bp to 6.92%; the 91-day eased to 3.56%.

Why it matters

A steepening curve with the Central Bank Rate held at 5.75% reflects term-premium repricing at the long end.

What to watch

BoT auction No. 1202 in early July for whether the long-end climb continues.

Gold

Gold near $4,129/oz, off ~1.5% on Fed repricing

Signal

Spot gold near USD 4,129/oz, off ~1.5% on Fed-hike repricing.

Why it matters

Gold is about a third of exports; the BoT's Domestic Gold Purchase Programme has accumulated ~27.5 tonnes (~TZS 10tn).

What to watch

Whether external repricing feeds through to domestic purchase pricing and reserve accumulation.

Currency

Shilling broadly stable near 2,632 per dollar

Signal

BoT official mean 2,632.48/USD, little changed day-on-day.

Why it matters

The shilling is down ~6.1% YTD; relative stability here eases imported-inflation pressure.

What to watch

Whether the managed float holds near 2,630 into the new fiscal year.
