Summary:

Tanzania’s macroeconomic performance has been strong, albeit with a recent deceleration in economic growth. GDP grew by 7 percent in 2016. High frequency data, however, suggest a weakening of economic activity in late 2016. Inflation remains moderate and is expected to fall towards the authorities’ 5 percent target. Key risks to the outlook are linked to slow budget implementation from financing shortfalls.
