As coronavirus is still ravaging the world economy, Tanzania financial sector has remained sound and resilient thanks to friendly environment put by the government. Most banks posted impressive results last year which according to analysts it is attributed to the resilience and attraction of the country’s economy.

Tanzania is home to about 50 banks, operating a total of approximately 840 branches and about 23,500 agents. NMB bank topped the list of banks in the country that posted an outstanding performance in the year under review.

Commenting on her bank’s numbers, NMB Bank Plc chief executive officer, Ms Ruth Zaipuna, said the record performance portrayed that the execution of the bank’s strategic plans was well on track.

The plans, she said, focus on growing income and improving operational efficiency by leveraging on technology to drive customer experience and cost efficiency.

“The year (2020), despite the global uncertainties in the wake of a global pandemic, we delivered a record-setting performance with strong stakeholder support, operational excellence, and solid strategy execution. The market at large also benefited from the unprecedented monetary and fiscal support by the Central Bank and the government. This in turn led to our profits reaching all-time high,” said Ms Zaipuna.

At the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, the BoT took several measures to cushion the economy from the impact of the pandemic. It (the BoT) lowered its statutory minimum reserve requirement reduced the discount rate.

The BoT also allowed banks to borrow from it (the BoT) with less collateral than before by reducing haircuts on government securities from 10 percent to five percent for treasury bills and from 40 per cent to 20 per cent for treasury bonds. NMB Bank generated the highest profit in the history of the banking sector in the country after recording 205.5bn/- profit which is 45 per cent more than in the previous year.
