Tanzania's Ministry of Finance published an update on Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa’s visit to the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE), where he marked the exchange’s formal listing milestone and highlighted its current scale. The release cited more than 28 listed companies, market capitalization exceeding TZS 22 trillion, and more than 683,000 investor accounts, with many investors described as young people and women. Speaking on behalf of Finance Minister Mwigulu Lameck Nchemba, Deputy Permanent Secretary Elijah Mwandumbya pointed to government policies, laws and procedures intended to stimulate trade, investment and economic growth, including the Financial Sector Development Master Plan 2020/21–2029/30. The Ministry and DSE were described as having scope to expand capital and securities markets by encouraging listings from insurers, banks, telecommunications companies and other sectors, supporting new products such as green bonds, sukuk and real estate investment trusts, and strengthening digital channels including DSE Hisa Kiganjani to reach more Tanzanians, including the diaspora, alongside collaboration with private sector and regional stakeholders. Majaliwa urged Tanzanians to participate in investing through the DSE, citing benefits for households and businesses and contributions to tax revenues and financial-sector stability.
