How does the latest one-year bill yield compare with the shilling's year-on-year move?
The 364-day bill yield is 0.52 percentage points below the shilling's year-on-year depreciation rate
Official USD/TZS rose 7.17% over the exact year to 2026-08-30, while the latest 364-day bill auction yielded 6.65% on 2026-08-26. These are two independently dated observations, not a realized return comparison.
Why it matters: For overseas investors, local-currency yield and currency translation can pull in opposite directions, so the headline yield alone does not determine a translated outcome.
Method and limitation
The comparison places the exact-year change in the official BoT indicative USD/TZS mean beside the annualized weighted-average yield from the latest 364-day bill auction. It does not align holding periods or include reinvestment, tax, costs, price changes or execution rates.
