	Friday, May 5, 2006  by Admin
	This working paper analyzes the structure, performance and role of the banking systems in Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. Research conducted does not find support for the argument that large international banks have adverse effects on the effectiveness and efficiency of banking sectors in developing countries. International banks do seem to be more efficient and more active in lending than domestic banks.

	Wednesday, March 22, 2006  by Admin
	Entrepreneurs in indigenous industries create national prosperity. The nation economy cannot grow because of being endowed with natural resources only. It also depends on innovative and upgrading characteristics of the indigenous country industries and entrepreneurs. Tanzania has a national competitive advantage in the tourist industry. Today the industry contributes about 16percent of the Gross National Product (GDP). Tourist industry has related and supporting industries.
49.	Opportunities and Risks in Liberalising Trade in Services in Tanzania
	Wednesday, March 22, 2006  by Admin
	With an underdeveloped services sector, inadequate regulatory framework and low capacity for trade negotiations, Tanzania faces a daunting task to make correct policy decisions in order to take advantage of the GATS. Nevertheless, the impact of WTO-led market opening will be cushioned by the fact that Tanzania has already undertaken substantial unilateral services liberalisation under the banner of economic reforms.
50.	The Industrial Experience of Tanzania
	Wednesday, March 22, 2006  by Admin
	This collection of articles focuses on an analysis of the industrial experience of Tanzania since independence in 1961. Tanzania is taken as a case study of industrialization in sub-Saharan Africa because it represents many of the common features of industrialization processes in other African economies. What we need to understand is why some developing economies, which started from low levels of per capita income in the post-war period, achieved some measure of success in industrialization and economic development, while others did not.
51.	The IMF, gold sales and multilateral debt cancellation
	Wednesday, March 22, 2006  by Admin
	The IMF holds the largest official reserves of gold in the world after the United States and Germany. These are held at a significant discount to the market price and have a latent additional value of about $34 billion at current price levels. The IMF has no real use for this gold1 and it is not used in the general day to day operations of the Fund. Moreover gold constitutes only about 2% of the IMF’s total available resources. There is also a significant opportunity cost to holding gold in its present form. Our calculations show that by holding gold the IMF has lost about $30 billion in potential revenue since 1979-80 when fund staff first suggested that the gold be sold. The IMF, gold sales and multilateral debt cancellation

	Wednesday, February 22, 2006  by Admin
	In its issue number 482, the Financial Times of Dar es Salaam analyses the problems plaguing the manufacturing sector in Tanzania. It mentions high power and operation costs and poor communication systems, which makes it hard to distribute raw materials and finished products. At the same, time manufacturing is said to be growing at a rate surpassed only by service and mining. Imports for the sector rose by 18 per cent to $2,547.2 million in the 2004/5 fiscal year, according to Bank of Tanzania.

	Tuesday, January 31, 2006  by Admin
	This study describes the current marketing arrangements in Tanzania, using Dar es Salaam, Ifakara and Mtwara as case studies. Impediments captured in this study include physical infrastructure, knowledge and capital and institutional framework. The Government has made changes in its policy to open markets and to facilitate free trade in the country. Changes at the top must be complemented with supporting policies at lower levels of administration to ensure trade liberalisation serves as a welfare increasing policy instrument.

	Friday, December 16, 2005  by Admin
	An overview of tourism in general, and in Africa in particular, within GATS rules on Tourism is the starting point of this study to develop a number of considerations. Firstly, some of the bottlenecks and potential for Tourism development in Africa will be listed, as well as how the present state of WTO negotiations affect tourism development in the region. Secondly, this study will analyse commitments by African countries to WTO rules pertaining to tourism, trying to input this tentative outcome into a technical backstop for a continental negotiating stance by African countries for the maximum benefit of tourism to African growth
58.	An export strategy that markets the country
	Monday, December 5, 2005  by Admin
	During the last financial year ending July, our foreign missions were applauded for generating over USD50 million by encouraging investors and visitors to come to Tanzania. The handsome cash was minted by offering services such as visas and other strategic information seen critical to investment decision-making or holidaying. The monies collected during that period were far beyond the budgetary needs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation.

60.	Non-Tariff Barriers Blocking Kenya Exports to Tanzania
	Friday, November 25, 2005  by Admin
	Some Kenyan manufacturers are finding it hard to enter the Tanzanian market, almost one year after the East African Customs Union came into effect (January 1, 2005).Kenyas tea exports to Tanzania are facing non-tariff barriers. Under the union, goods to and from Uganda and Tanzania enter Kenya duty free. But specific goods from Kenya into the two countries attract duties, ranging from 25 per cent to five per cent, under a programme to end internal tariffs on Kenya goods by 2010.
