Tanzania Set To Do Away With The Use Of Foreign Currencies

Tanzania is currently in the process of regulating the use of foreign currencies for local transactions, and instead opts exclusively for the use of the Tanzanian Shilling.

The East African country recently revealed that it has made amendments to its central bank, the Bank of Tanzania (BoT), which would allow for the use of its local currency for financial transactions within its borders, exclusively.

As a result, the Bank, in collaboration with Tanzania’s Ministry of Finance, is working to develop new regulations that prohibit the use of foreign currencies to conduct business in the nation.

Should all go as planned, Tanzania is looking at the 1st of July to officially implement the new initiative which was originally intended to bolster the country’s financial strength.

The exclusive use of the Tanzanian Shilling within the country is a plan designed to protect the country’s monetary policy.

Villela Waane, the Manager of International Economics and Real Sector and the Bank of Tanzania revealed that the regulation would be made public once the kinks are worked out.

“Using foreign currencies domestically limits the supply of foreign currencies needed for importing essential goods,” Villela stated, also noting that it undermines the country’s monetary policies as well as adds to inflationary pressures.

“The aim is to strengthen the Tanzania Shilling’s value and ensure foreign currencies are reserved solely for essential imports,” she added.

Currently, the Bank of Tanzania has directed all commercial banks to halt the use of foreign currencies for its services including the payment of goods and services, taxes, and other fees, as reported by The Citizen.

Emmanuel Akaro, the Director of Financial Markets at the central bank, noted that the payment of goods and services in foreign currencies which had been prevalent with certain individuals, is now considered illegal.

“These changes are part of a broader effort to stabilize Tanzania’s financial system and maintain the integrity of our monetary policies,” the director said.
