Analysis

How does the latest one-year bill yield compare with the shilling's year-on-year move?

What the chart shows

Official USD/TZS rose 7.48% over the exact year to 2026-09-12, while the latest 364-day bill auction yielded 6.47% on 2026-09-09. 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.
