Dar es Salaam. Tanzania attracted investment worth $10.95 billion (about Sh27 trillion) in 2025, driven largely by inflows from a handful of leading source countries, as the number of registered projects and pledged capital rose sharply during the year accompanied by political and economic headwinds.
According to the Minister of State in the President’s Office (Planning and Investment), Prof Kitila Mkumbo, Tanzania registered 915 investment projects between January and December 29, 2025, up from 901 projects in 2024 and 252 projects in 2021.
