Dar es Salaam. President Samia Suluhu Hassan has attributed the rise in Tanzania’s national debt to a combination of historical loan disbursements, foreign exchange fluctuations, and deliberate fiscal decisions aimed at supporting economic recovery.

Addressing Parliament on Friday, June 27, during its official dissolution, the Head of State said it was important for Tanzanians to understand that part of the national debt comprises disbursements from loan agreements signed by previous administrations.
