Secondary income account registered a surplus of 436.4 million US dollars during the year ending June slightly lower than a surplus of 464.4 million US dollars in the corresponding period last year owing to relatively lower inflows to the private sector.<\/p>\n<p>In June this year, a surplus of 31.5 million US dollars was registered compared with 61.9 million US dollars in the corresponding period last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
