The Dar es Salaam market in five numbers — and why the headline one can mislead

How to read this — five indices, two stories
The DSE publishes five indices. The All Share Index (DSEI) covers every listing, including cross-listed foreign companies (Kenyan banks, breweries). The Tanzania Share Index (TSI) covers domestic companies only. Three sector indices — Banks, Finance & Investment, Industrial & Allied, and Commercial Services — split the local market by type. We capture all five from the DSE daily report and build the series over time.

Why it matters for investors
Pick the index that matches your question
If you hold Tanzanian shares, the TSI and the sector indices are your benchmark — not the All Share, which is diluted by cross-listed names you may not own. The Banks, Finance & Investment index is the one to watch most: it carries CRDB and NMB and tracks the credit-driven bull the Ghost keeps flagging. A flat headline index and a rising domestic one is not a contradiction — it is the market telling you where the move actually is.
