USD/TZS moved only inside the governed BoT ledger

Signal

The BoT ledger records USD/TZS at 2,644.21 on the 2026-08-21 sheet.

Why it matters

The same ledger shows a -0.28% one-month shilling move and keeps its clock separate from the DSE close.

What to watch

Use the next BoT sheet, not an editorial lookup, to update the FX marker.
