Dar es Salaam. Tanzania’s equity market experienced a notable pullback in foreign investor interest in the third quarter of 2025, with offshore investors increasing their stock sales by 41.9 percent, as global yields rose and the US Federal Reserve maintained elevated interest rates.

Market data shows turnover from shares sold by foreign investors rose to Sh114.9 billion in the third quarter, July to September 2025, from Sh80.9 billion that they sold in the second quarter, between April to June 2025.
