AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> THE shilling has continued to depreciate against US dollar largely due to decline of inflows from tourism and exports.<\/p>\n

For example, last week, the shilling, lost 61 percentage in points (pips) to close at a weighted average rate of 2,302\/67 against a green back.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe depreciation is caused by halted tourism activities and lowered exports due to the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

The Global consequences of the coronavirus are expected to keep stressing the shilling despite a sufficient foreign reserve by the BoT,\u201d Orbit Securities has said.<\/p>\n

Orbit Securities, the largest stock brokerage firm in the land, said the value of transactions on the Interbank Foreign Exchange Market (IFEM) have risen for four straight weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is possibly the central bank\u2019s injection of foreign currency into the banking system to support the shilling,\u201d Orbit said in its weekly market synopsis issued on Monday.<\/p>\n

The firm added: \u201cThis shall be obvious in a monthly report for May by the Bank of Tanzania\u201d.<\/p>\n

The value of transactions during the week was 8.9 million US dollars compared to 6.8 million US dollars in the previous week.<\/p>\n

Tanzania Securities said in a report also that during the week, the total volume traded was at an average rate of 2,302\/31 from at an average rate of 2,301\/95.<\/p>\n

The highest and lowest rate was shilling\/dollar 2,314\/- and 2,300\/70 from 2,313\/- and 2,300\/45 in the previous week respectively.<\/p>\n

Fortnight ago, money market analysts had it that the shilling started to feel the pinch of the coronavirus contagious in four straight weeks after losing 148 pips since mid-last month.<\/p>\n

As of February, BoT said in its latest Monthly Economic Review, the country\u2019s reserve amounted to 5.5billion US dollars, enough to cover 6.4 months\u2019 worth of imports.<\/p>\n

\u201c[The amount] sufficient to cover\u2026 projected imports of goods and services excluding foreign direct investment related imports,\u201d BoT report showed.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, foreign assets of banks amounted to 1.04billion US dollars at the end of February from 958.5million US dollars last February.<\/p>\n

The extent of the impact on the economy and policy responses taken to cushion the economy will be reported in the subsequent publications of Monthly Economic Review, BoT said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
