Dar es Salaam. NMB Bank has entered a new phase of growth, signalling plans to expand beyond Tanzania after shareholders approved a share subdivision and a series of strategic resolutions at its 26th Annual General Meeting (AGM), paving the way for regional investments under its Agenda 2030 roadmap.
The landmark decisions, taken in Dar es Salaam on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, are expected to give the bank greater flexibility to pursue acquisitions, establish subsidiaries and widen ownership participation through a more accessible share structure.
