Fiscal Year Turns

Tanzania enters 2026/27 with a record budget and a 25-year horizon

Parliament approved the TZS 62.33tn (about USD 24bn) 2026/27 budget by 385 of 393 votes on 23 June, effective 1 July, committing TZS 1.2tn to clearing arrears and pledging tighter expenditure controls while targeting 6.3% GDP growth. As Vision 2025 reaches its statutory close, the government pivots to DIRA 2050; a USD 1 trillion ambition launching 1 July, anchored by LNG, Kabanga Nickel, the Liganga to Mchuchuma complex and Engaruka soda ash, with private capital cast as the principal driver.

Rates

BoT holds at 5.75% for a third quarter; 364-day T-bill at 6.92%

The Bank of Tanzania kept the Central Bank Rate at 5.75% for Q2 2026; a third straight hold; with the 7-day interbank band at 4.25 to 7.25% and inflation judged contained within the 3 to 5% objective as Q1 2026 GDP growth reached 6.2%. At auction No. 1201 on 17 June the 364-day weighted-average yield was 6.92%, up about 54bp from 6.38% on 3 June, while the 91-day eased to 3.56% and all tenors were oversubscribed.

Fiscal

TRA collects TZS 28tn in nine months, beating target

The Tanzania Revenue Authority collected TZS 9.31tn in the January to March quarter, up 23.6% year-on-year and above the TZS 8.75tn target, bringing July 2025 to March 2026 collections to TZS 28.0tn against a TZS 26.8tn goal. Officials credit voluntary compliance and electronic fiscal systems. The overshoot gives Treasury room to fund the TZS 1.2tn arrears clearance without leaning harder on borrowing as the new fiscal year and DIRA 2050 spending begin together.
