The national debt increased by $3.9 billion in one year as the government is implementing infrastructure projects and improve provision of social services.<\/p>\n

According to the Bank of Tanzania\u2019s (BoT) monthly economic review, the debt stood at $33. 7 bill at the end of July this year, having increased by $3.9 billion from July 2020.<\/p>\n

External debt, comprising the public and private sector, amounted to $25.96 billion at the end of July 2021 and accounted for 77 percent of the national debt.<\/p>\n

The debt stock represented an increase of $436.8 million from the preceding month and $2.76 billion from July 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe profile of external debt by borrower category remained broadly unchanged, with debt owed by the central government accounting for 77.7 percent,\u201d BoT stated.<\/p>\n

According to the central bank of Tanzania, transport and telecommunication activities accounted for more than a quarter of outstanding external debt, associated with ongoing mega infrastructure projects, followed by social welfare and education, as well as energy and mining.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the government domestic debt amounted to Sh17.8 trillion at the end of July 2021, a decrease of Sh1.12 trillion from June 2021 and an increase of Sh2.7 trillion from the corresponding period in 2020.<\/p>\n
