BENKI YA NMB YAWEKA REKODI KUPATA FAIDA ZAIDI YA SH. 295 BILIONI KABLA YA KODI NA KUWA TAASISI YA KWANZA YA KIFEDHA NCHINI KUFIKIA KIWANGO HIKI

• Faida baada ya kodi imefika TZS 205.5 bilioni ambacho pia ni kiwango kikubwa zaidi kwa sekta ya fedha Tanzania.

Dar es Salaam, Januari 28, 2021 - Benki ya NMB imetangaza kupata faida ya TZS 205.5 bilioni baada ya kodi kwa mwaka ulioishia Disemba 31, 2020 ambayo ni sawa na ongezeko la asilimia 45.

Akizungumzia matokeo hayo, Afisa Mtendaji Mkuu wa Benki ya NMB, Bi. Ruth Zaipuna amesema yametokana na utendaji imara uliojielekeza kukuza mapato na kuongeza ufanisi kwa kutumia teknolojia na kupunguza gharama za uendeshaji.

“Kwa miaka mitano iliyopita, Taifa lilishuhudia ukuaji endelevu wa uchumi uliochangiwa na sera makini za fedha na kodi. Ni kutokana na mazingira haya wezeshi pamoja na utekelezaji makini wa mpango mkakati wa Benki tumefanikiwa kupata matokeo haya mazuri yaliyosaidia kukua kwa faida tuliyoipata,” amesema.

Faida ya Benki kabla ya kodi iliongezeka kwa asilimia 40 kutoka TZS 211.1 bilioni iliyopatikana mwaka 2019 mpaka TZS 295.4 bilioni mwaka 2020 huku faida baada ya kodi nayo ikiongezeka kwa asilimia 45 kutoka TZS 142.2 bilioni mwaka 2019 hadi TZS 205.5 bilioni mwaka 2020 na kuifanya kuwa benki ya kwanza nchini kupata faida kubwa kiasi hicho.

Taarifa zake za fedha zisizokaguliwa pia zinaonyesha faida hiyo imechangiwa na ongezeko la mapato ya biashara yaliyopanda kwa asilimia 15 na udhibiti wa gharama za uendeshaji ambazo ziliongezeka kwa asilimia mbili tu (2%) ndani ya mwaka huo.

Kutokana na mpango mkakati wa Benki wa kuongeza ufanisi wa utendaji na huduma za kidijitali, mapato mengine yaliongezeka kwa asilimia 19 kutoka TZS 224.0 bilioni mwaka 2019 hadi TZS 266.2 bilioni mwaka 2020 yakichangiwa zaidi na ongezeko la wateja waliotumia huduma mtandaoni. Katika kipindi hicho, mapato yatokanayo na riba yaliongezeka kwa asilimia 11 kutoka TZS 518 bilioni za mwaka 2019 hadi TZS 574.0 bilioni mwaka 2020.

BANK OF TANZANIA MONETARY POLICY COMMITTEE STATEMENT

The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), at its 212th Ordinary Meeting held on 22nd January 2021, decided upon the Bank to continue with accommodative monetary policy to facilitate growth through credit to the private sector. The MPC also approved the Bank to auction Treasury bills and bonds for Government budgetary operations in accordance with the 2020/21 Government Issuance Plan.

The MPC observed that, since its previous meeting, the economy continued to demonstrate satisfactory performance, despite global spillover effects of COVID-19. In the first half of 2020, growth averaged 4.9 percent, largely driven by construction, agriculture, transport, and mining and quarrying. Inflation remained low in the last six months of 2020, ranging from 3.0 to 3.3 percent, attributable to adequate food production and supply, low oil prices, and stable exchange rate. The external sector sustained satisfactory performance, bolstered by exports, particularly gold, crops, and manufactured goods. Foreign reserves, remained adequate, covering more than 5.6 months of imports. The performance of Government fiscal operations was on track, with improving tax revenue.

The MPC noted that, implementation of accommodative monetary policy succeeded in lowering short-term interest rates, thus creating favourable conditions for increase in trade and investment. Private sector credit growth averaged 5.1 percent in the last six months of 2020, and is expected to regain momentum in the second half of the fiscal year 2020/21, as the global economy normalizes. The banking sector remained profitable and adequately capitalized, with capacity to withstand shocks.

MAKING HOUSING AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE WITH MARKET-BASED SOLUTIONS: INNOVATIVE FINANCING TO ADDRESS HOUSING IN TANZANIA

In Tanzania, a seven-fold expansion of the housing finance market was achieved through International Development Association (IDA) financing and an innovative solution to address housing, a critical development challenge in the country. Five thousand mortgages and two thousand housing micro-finance loans were provided. Nearly 34 percent of the beneficiaries were women. Long-term sustainability of the mortgage market was ensured through market-based solutions.

Challenge

One of Tanzania’s greatest long-term developmental challenges has been providing citizens with access to decent and affordable housing. While it’s been a government priority, interventions had limited success before 2010, even with a rapid urbanization and an increased demand for affordable housing and housing finance, especially by the lower and middle-income segments of the population. The lack of access to affordable housing impacted people’s well-being, including: safety, hygiene and health issues (lack of access to clean water, safe toilets, dust in the house and extreme heat); preventable illness (malaria or dengue); and access to basic needs of living, such as electricity which also impacted education and access to information. Often, the lower and middle-income population had no option but to save money to gradually build their own houses over several years, sometimes decades, while they rented or lived in poor or unfinished houses.

Approach

The Tanzania Housing Finance Project demonstrates the best of the World Bank’s innovation and risk-taking during project design and implementation, reflecting principles of Maximizing Finance for Development. To expand the housing finance market, the Tanzania Mortgage Refinance Company (TMRC) was created to provide medium-and-long-term liquidity to mortgage lenders. A Housing Microfinance Fund was also created to provide medium-term liquidity to microfinance institutions, offering housing microfinance loans to the low-income population. To ensure financial viability and sustainability of the TMRC beyond the project period, the World Bank helped design its access to capital markets through bond issuances. The project showed that private capital, even in less-developed financial markets, can be mobilized successfully through judicious public investments in relatively large volumes, compared to overall credit market size. Through two extensions, two restructurings, and additional financing, the World Bank stayed with the project for nearly 10 years.

HEAD OF STATE HAILS TANZANIA AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT BANK FOR LOANS TO INVESTORS

TADB Managing Director, Japhet Justine.

President John Magufuli has praised the Tanzania Agricultural Development Bank (TADB) for affordable loans it issues to local investors, urging it to expand its services to pastoralists marginalised in national economic growth.

Laying a foundation at the Kahama Fresh Dairy factory in Kihanga Ward, Kagera Region on Tuesday, the President said that he believed many pastoralists are honest, hence, should be provided with affordable loans.

Elaborating, he praised TADB Managing Director, Japhet Justine, saying the bank not only issues supportive loans but also offers consultation to clients on how to run businesses with the money borrowed and pay back with ease.
