BoT projects 6percent growth, keeps key rate unchanged

Bank of Tanzania headquarters in Dar es Salaam. 

Dar es Salaam. The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Bank of Tanzania yesterday projected that economy will grow by six percent in the first quarter of 2026, underpinned by stable inflation and favourable macroeconomic conditions, as it retained the Central Bank Rate (CBR) at 5.75 percent for the first quarter.

The projection was made during the MPC meeting held on Tuesday, where members noted that inflation is expected to remain within the target range of 3–5 percent, providing room to support sustained economic expansion.
