Tanzania households shift savings into bonds, funds as financial assets hit Sh28 trillion

Dar es Salaam. Tanzanian households are increasingly shifting money from traditional savings accounts into bonds, mutual funds and other formal investment products, pushing the value of household financial assets to Sh28.77 trillion by the end of 2025.

The figure marks an increase from Sh27.52 trillion recorded in 2024, driven largely by stronger participation in government securities, collective investment schemes and other formal investment products, according to the latest Financial Stability Report released by the Bank of Tanzania (BoT).
