Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>TANZANIA:<\/b> THE Bank of Tanzania (BoT) has said exports increased by 13.6 per cent in March, thanks to gold, tourism, transport and traditional goods growth.<\/p>\n

The goods and services export thus reached 14.301 billion US dollars recorded in the corresponding period last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe main drivers of growth include gold, receipts from travel (tourism) and transport, as well as traditional goods,\u201d BoT said in its latest monthly economic review report.<\/p>\n

Traditional goods exports amounted to 1.031billion US dollars, an increase from 758.4 million US dollars in the previous year.<\/p>\n

\u201cA significant increase was registered in exports of tobacco, coffee, cotton and cashew nuts owing to both price and volume effects,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

Exports of non-traditional goods also increased by 1.3 percent to 6.286 billion US dollars, supported by gold, horticultural products and oil seeds.<\/p>\n

Gold exports were 3.106 billion US dollars, accounting for almost half of all non-traditional exports.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe increase in horticultural product exports was largely on account of a rise in vegetable exports, particularly melons and chickpeas,\u201d BoT said.<\/p>\n

Additionally, service receipts amounted to 6.562 billion US dollars a year up from 5.221 billion US dollars in the previous year, mostly driven by travel (tourism) and transportation receipts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe increase in travel receipts reflects the recovery of the tourism sector, consistent with developments in the global tourism industry,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

Tourist arrivals recorded an annual increase of 21.9 per cent to 1,919,447. On a monthly basis, service receipts reached 542.3 million US dollars in March compared to 481 million US dollars last March.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, goods and services imports declined to 16.033 billion US dollars in March from 17.124 billion in the corresponding year.<\/p>\n

\u201cMuch of the decline emanated from refined white petroleum products, fertilizers and industrial supplies,\u201d the report showed.<\/p>\n

On a monthly basis, goods imports were 1.148 billion US dollars in March compared to 1.170 billion US dollars in March.<\/p>\n

Services payments also declined to 2.265 billion US dollars compared to 2.578 billion US dollars last March.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe outturn was mostly due to a decline in freight payments following a fall in imports,\u201d the BoT report said.<\/p>\n
