Capital System Pulse

Across Tanzania’s markets

Each observation is frozen to this edition and keeps its own date. Price and NAV changes do not establish capital flows.

Index anatomy

Which shares drove the gap?

Share contributions await verified market caps for both closes. No contribution is estimated.

Share trading

Three companies account for most share trading

Signal

CRDB, NMB and Tanzania Cigarette accounted for 93.3% of Wednesday’s share trading value.

Why it matters

The TZS 9.66 billion total includes pre-arranged trades in CRDB, Tanzania Cigarette and TCCL. It does not count individual investors.

What to watch

The next official report can show whether trading value is less concentrated; its date is not yet published.

Currency

The dollar reference edged lower on a separate clock

Signal

The Bank of Tanzania lists TZS 2,641.62 per United States dollar on 1 October, down from TZS 2,642.25 on 30 September.

Why it matters

This indicative mean is a reference, not a customer exchange price. The 1 October observation is provisional; the earlier one is final.

What to watch

The next dated currency sheet can test the change. Its publication time is unconfirmed.

Farmer banking

NBC campaign reaches farmers; funding is undisclosed

Signal

Daily News reports that National Bank of Commerce (NBC) launched a campaign to teach farmers money skills and widen banking access.

Why it matters

New accounts could bring savings into the bank. The report gives no funding amount, loan facility or account-opening target.

What to watch

Reported new accounts and any linked savings or loan products would show results. No dated checkpoint is disclosed.
