Tanzania, United Republic of
TANZANIA HAS MANAGED TO NOT ONLY overcome the aftermath of adverse weather shocks in 2005 and 2006 and an outbreak of Rift Valley Fever during 2007, but also shows signs of a recovering economy. Favourable weather conditions enabled a good harvest in 2007 and provided adequate water levels for the operations of hydropower dams that are themain source of electric power generation. The economy is projected to grow by 6.6 per cent in 2007 compared to 6.7 per cent in 2006.The outlook is encouraging for subsequent years aswell,withGDP growth expected tomaintain the same momentum, at 6.5 per cent in 2008 and 6.7 per cent in 2009. However, the recent increase in fuel prices, the newly announced wage regulations for the private sector and the political turmoil in Kenya may dampen this outlook.
Tanzania has made remarkable improvements in economic management over the last decade which have been rewarded with impressive GDP growth, which reached 6.7 per cent in 2004. Tanzania’s impressive growth in 2004 was supported by rising agricultural production associated with good weather conditions. The inflation rate remained below 4.5 per cent at end- June 2005 as lower food prices compensated for higher fuel costs. However, due to insufficient rains in autumn...
AU COURS DES DIX DERNIÈRES ANNÉES, la Tanzanie a réalisé des progrès considérables dans la gestion de son économie avec, à la clé, une croissance impressionnante du PIB, qui a atteint 6.7 pour cent en 2004. Cet essor a été soutenu par l’augmentation de la production agricole, à la faveur d’une météorologie propice. Le taux d’inflation était toujours inférieur à 4.5 pour cent fin juin 2005, le repli des prix de l’alimentation compensant le renchérissement du carburant. Cependant, en raison de précipitations insuffisantes à l’automne 2005, les prix des produits alimentaires devraient remonter. Les performances du...
SINCE 1995, TANZANIA has successfully pursued economic reforms, resulting in accelerating economic growth and decelerating inflation. Strong growth and fiscal restraint in spite of a serious drought in 2003, demonstrates an impressive resilience. GDP growth has been 5.6 per cent in 2003 and is estimated at 6.4 per cent in 20041. Yet, the share of manufacturing in GDP has only slightly increased from an average of 8.3 per cent during 1997-99 to an average of 8.4 per cent during 2001-032. Growth in manufacturing is expected to take off soon due to various recent policy measures. Significant...
La présente analyse conjointe compare les points forts et les faiblesses de quatre donneurs présents en Tanzanie, à savoir le Danemark, la Finlande, l’Irlande et le Japon, et formule des observations sur leurs programmes. Le but de l’analyse conjointe des programmes d’aide de ces quatre donneurs (2-13 mars 2003) était de comprendre comment la mise en œuvre des stratégies de partenariat des donneurs concourt à l’appropriation à l’échelon local. Après un examen des défis posés aux donneurs par les mécanismes tanzaniens de coordination de l’aide, qui favorisent beaucoup l’appropriation par la Tanzanie du programme de développement, une série d’enseignements à tirer sont présentés à l’intention des donneurs du CAD...
This Joint Assessment compares the strengths of four donors in Tanzania, namely Denmark, Finland, Ireland and Japan, as well as the challenges facing them, and makes observations on their aid programmes. The aim of the Joint Assessment of these four donors (2-13 March 2003) was to understand the way in which the implementation of donors’ partnership strategies contributes to country ownership. The paper looks at the challenges for donors posed by the Tanzanian aid co-ordination mechanisms, which strongly promote Tanzanian ownership of the development programme. It concludes with a series of lessons for DAC donors...
The Tanzanian economy is showing strong growth as a result of continuing improvement in agricultural production and strengthening macroeconomic fundamentals. In 2001, real GDP growth continued the recent upward trend reaching 5.6 per cent from a yearly average of 4.5 per cent since 1995. The outlook on growth is stabilisation, with real GDP growth estimated at 5.7 per cent in 2002, and projected to moderate to 5.9 per cent in 2003. The improving growth performance since 1995 has been accompanied by fiscal orientation that has enabled increased budgetary allocation towards priority sectors for poverty alleviation, in accordance with Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSP) targets. Prudence in monetary management has brought monetary expansion under control and has contributed to a downward trend in inflation, which is expected to be maintained in 2002 and 2003. The external position of Tanzania was precarious in 2001 as a result of poor export performance, which emanated from low commodity prices. The difficult external situation is expected to continue in 2002 and 2003…
Le Sénégal présente depuis la dévaluation de 1994 un dynamisme économique important avec des taux de croissance annuels du PIB en volume supérieurs à 5 pour cent. Dans ce contexte de croissance soutenue, les années 2000 à 2002 constituent une période de transition pour le pays, l’alternance démocratique renforçant la confiance dans l’avenir, même si le changement de l’équipe au pouvoir entraîne un certain attentisme des opérateurs et retarde la mise en œuvre des programmes sectoriels. Parallèlement, le pays peine à finaliser certaines réformes structurelles qu’il s’est assignées au sein de son programme avec le FMI, telles la privatisation de la compagnie d’électricité (Sénélec) et celle de l’entreprise en charge de la commercialisation de l’arachide (Sonacos). Ces deux entreprises ont accumulé de gros déficits que l’État a dû combler en 2001, entraînant des difficultés budgétaires importantes. Les relations avec les institutions de Bretton Woods connaissent donc quelques tensions, tandis que sur le plan interne les autorités doivent gérer la fin de l’état de grâce suscité par l’alternance politique...
