Tanzania

Tanzania is East Africa's second-largest economy, blessed with extraordinary natural resources including gold deposits (Africa's fourth-largest producer), the world's only source of tanzanite, and some of the continent's most iconic tourism destinations: the Serengeti, Mount Kilimanjaro, and Zanzibar.

The economy has grown steadily at 5-7% annually, driven by construction, mining, and services. The government under President Samia Suluhu Hassan has focused on improving the business environment, reopening dialogue with the private sector, and advancing major infrastructure projects including the Julius Nyerere Hydropower Dam (2,115 MW) and the Standard Gauge Railway.

Tanzania is emerging as a major natural gas producer with the discovery of significant offshore reserves. The country is also a member of both the EAC and SADC, providing access to a combined market of over 500 million people.
