Tanzania has achieved a historic surge in investment approvals, with 915 projects worth $10.95 billion registered in 2025. This marks the highest number since the investment registration framework was established in 1996. The increase reflects growing investor confidence and ongoing reforms to enhance the business environment, according to the Minister of State for Planning and Investment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong> <\/span>TANZANIA has recorded a historic surge in investment approvals, with the government announcing that a total of 915 projects worth 10.95 billion US dollars were registered in 2025 alone, the highest number since the investment registration framework was established in 1996.<\/p>\n

Minister of State in the President\u2019s Office for Planning and Investment, Kitila Mkumbo, revealed this when presenting the ministry\u2019s 2026\/2027 budget estimates to lawmakers in Dodoma today, April 16, 2026, noting that the performance reflects growing investor confidence and sustained reforms to improve the business environment.<\/p>\n

According to the minister, the investment registrations under the Tanzania Investment and Special Economic Zones Authority (TISEZA) have increased significantly over the past five years.<\/p>\n

He noted that the number of registered projects has risen from 256 in 2021 to 915 in 2025, representing a 257.4 per cent increase.<\/p>\n

Additionally, he said that the government has begun compiling data on outward investment by Tanzanian companies operating abroad, with preliminary figures showing more than 3.1 bn US dollars invested in foreign markets.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese investments span several countries, including Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Japan, South Korea, Qatar and Oman,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the minister said that the expansion of Tanzanian investments abroad strengthens economic diplomacy, broadens market access for local firms, enhances competitiveness and supports technology transfer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe government will continue improving investment systems to ensure Tanzania remains an attractive destination while also enabling local companies to expand regionally and globally,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Since the establishment of the investment registration framework in 1996, Tanzania has seen various phases of economic reforms aimed at attracting foreign investment. The government has implemented policies to improve the business environment, which have contributed to the significant rise in registered projects over the years. The recent surge in investment approvals signals a renewed confidence among investors, bolstered by the government’s commitment to economic diplomacy and regional market expansion.<\/p>\n
