Tanzania Insurance Regulatory Authority (TIRA) Commissioner of Insurance Dr. Baghayo Saqware emphasized the role of official statistics and technological innovation in supporting insurance sector growth during remarks at the ninth annual conference of statistics professionals in Dar es Salaam. Investment in the sector has reached approximately TZS 2.2 trillion, while annual growth averages 15%.
Official statistics can guide decisions, identify investment opportunities and inform solutions that improve insurance services. TIRA’s ongoing collaboration with the Eastern Africa Statistical Training Centre, which hosted the conference, uses statistics to support decisions and develop technical recommendations for the sector. Saqware also urged statistics graduates and professionals to apply their knowledge and innovation to practical insurance solutions while maintaining professional standards and integrity.
