Investment

"Tanzania, is no doubt, a great place to invest in Africa today. There are unlimited investment and business opportunities which you are invited to explore.

For over the past decade we have put in place the most conducive investment environment you can think of. We have flung our doors wide open for anyone interested to bring his money and do business with us in Tanzania. There are no restrictions or preconditions attached. You just bring your capital, Technology and Management Skills, and you do business.

In addition, Tanzania is a gateway to six landlocked countries in Eastern and Central Africa. It provides natural access to the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Zambia, Malawi and Uganda. Investing in Tanzania therefore gives you the advantage and opportunity to access markets in all these countries. On behalf of the People of Tanzania, I extend a warm Welcome!!

Tanzania posses vast natural resources and is endowed with unique comparative advantages thus offering exceptionally attractive opportunities to investors.
After three decades of a centrally planned and staterun economy, Tanzania has now privatised state-owned business enterprises and liberalised all spheres of economic activity and put in place a business-friendly environment backed by enabling legislation and facilitative frame-work.
