Kiasi cha TZS milioni 173 na pikipiki 14 zitatumika kuwakwamua kiuchumi washindi wa shindano hilo linalojulikana mara hii kama NMB MastaBata, Kote-Kote!

Kwa mujibu wa Afisa Mkuu wa Wateja Binafsi na Biashara wa NMB, Bw Filbert Mponzi, utaratibu huo utasaidia kuimarisha vipato vya wateja watakaoibuka washindi.

MastaBata ya mwaka huu itaua ndege wawili kwa jiwe moja. Itahamasisha matumizi zaidi ya kadi za NMB Mastercard na Lipa Mkononi(QR) na kuwapa fursa wateja kuboresha uchumi wao.

“Tofauti na mwaka jana, mwaka huu tumeamua kuwa na zawadi ya fedha pamoja na pikipiki sababu tunahitaji sio tu kuhamasisha matumizi ya kadi lakini pia kuwa chachu ya mabadiliko ya kiuchumi ya wateja wetu, tunaamini pikipiki hizi zinakwenda kutumika katika biashara na kuongeza kipato cha washindi wetu,” Bw Mponzi alibainisha.

Dar es Salaam, 27th October 2022 – Serengeti Breweries Limited (SBL) has launched an anti-drinking program for the under-age aimed at curbing alcohol-drinking behavior among school going children.

Tanzania is among African countries with early age initiation to alcohol consumption. A study conducted in 2019 in Mwanza and Kilimanjaro regions found the prevalence of alcohol consumption among secondary school students aged 15 and above ranging from 12.9% among girls in Mwanza to 63.9% among boys in Kilimanjaro. The prevalence of alcohol use among students aged 13–15 in Dar es Salaam was 5.6%.

Dubbed SMASHED, SBL’s anti-drinking campaign, is an interactive theatre experience conducted in schools to educate secondary school going students about the side effects of alcohol consumption at a tender age advising them to refrain from consuming alcohol before maturity.

“The program involves delivery of key learnings on negative effects of underage drinking to both the youth and community. The program combines use of drama presentations and students’ engagement in a motivational learning environment to equipping them with facts, skills, and confidence to make responsible choices and develop responsible attitudes in health-related matters,” said Rispa Hatibu, SBL’s Communications Manager.

KCB BANK ASSETS SURPASS 1TRI/-, JOINS ELITE CLUB

KCB Bank Board Chairman, John Ulanga speaks in Dar es Salaam yesterday during a press conference to announce that the bank has grown its assets value to over TShs 1 trillion for the third quarter of the year 2022. Second right is KCB Bank Managing Director, Cosmas Kimario. Extreme right is the bank's Head of Finance, Willis Simbatia and on the left is Acting Head of Marketing and Corporate affairs, Shose Kombe.

KCB Bank Tanzania’s assets value has increased by 105 per cent in five years to 1.04tri/- as of last month, giving the lender financial muscles to expand service delivery to its customers while continuing to implement its expansion plans.

The increase was mainly driven by growth in customer deposits, which grew by over 103 per cent in five years (2017/22) while profit before tax grew by 182 per cent in the period under review.

KCB Bank Tanzania Managing Director, Mr Cosmas Kimario said in Dar es Salaam yesterday when announcing the bank’s third-quarter performance that the achievement is a result of strong strategies laid by the bank as well as improvement of the country’s business and economic environment.

“Most businesses laid down intermediate strategies to revive their activities and they have started bearing fruits. This has helped us to earn a strong asset base while serving our clients better,” he said.

He said the banking sector has started gaining momentum from the Covid-19 adverse effects that hit the globe in 2019.

Deploying digital technology in its operations was cited as another key driver for the growth, whereby the bank has focused on strengthening service delivery through alternative channels instead of the branch network alone.

“Digital services like internet banking, mobile banking and Point of Sale (POS) have increased efficiency in service delivery to our customers. Currently, most transactions are done out of the banking halls offering more convenience to customers,” he said.

Mr Kimario also cited the improvement of the country’s economy, a result of stable and sound economic policies put in place by the government and the Bank of Tanzania (BoT) as another contributor to the growth.

NMB TOPS AFRICAN FINANCIERS IN CLOSING GENDER GAP

NMB Bank has become the first African financial institution to receive the workplace gender equality certification from the Economic Dividends for Gender Equality (EDGE) Certified Foundation due to its commitment to promoting gender equality in the country.

The bank has made remarkable milestones in gender equality by increasing gender equality ratio from 45 per cent women in 2015 to 49 per cent this year compared to 55 per cent men ratio in 2015 down to 51 per cent men employee ratio in 2022.

In February this year, the bank issued the first ever East African bond targeting gender empowerment called Jasiri Bond that received 74.2bn/- that allows NMB to extend affordable financing for women-owned or women-controlled enterprises and/or businesses whose products or services directly impact a woman.

As of June this year, NMB had provided nearly 1,483 loans worth 35bn/- to women-owned businesses across all regions.

NMB’s Chief Human Resources Officer, Mr Emmanuel Akonaay said, “NMB bank has become Africa’s first financial institution to be awarded the EDGE Certificate in recognition of its commitment to promoting gender equality internally and advancing the noble cause nationally,”

BENKI YA NMB KINARA WA USAWA WA KIJINSIA AFRIKA

Kulia ni Mkuu wa masuala Jinsia wa IFC Afrika, Anne Kabugi, kushoto ni Afisa Mkuu Huduma Shirikishi wa NMB, Nenyuata Menjooli na wapili kushoto ni Afisa Mkuu wa Udhibiti NMB, Doreen Joseph.

Ubaguzi wa kijinsia ni mwiko kwa Benki ya NMB na juhudi zake za kutokomeza kabisa unyanyapaaji huo nchini zimeiheshimisha duniani na kupelekea harakati zake za kupambania usawa wa kijinsia kazini kuthibitishwa rasmi kimataifa.

Benki hiyo imetunukiwa na taasisi ya The Edge Certified Foundation hati maalumu ya kutambulika rasmi duniani kama kinara katika mgawanyo wa kiuchumi kwenye suala la kijinsia (EDGE Certification) miongoni mwa taasisi za kifedha barani Afrika.

NMB ni ya kwanza kupata mafanikio hayo kitaasisi kwenye nchi zote zilizoko kusini mwa Jangwa la Sahara. Bw Akonaay alisema zipo taasisi nyingine mbili ambazo si za kifedha zenye hati hiyo za Kaskazini mwa Afrika (Moroco na Misri).

Aidha, tafiti zimedhibitisha kuwa uwiano wa kijinsia ni kichocheo kizuri cha ubunifu na ukuaji wa kiuchumi, kuimarika kwa shughuli za uzalishaji mali na kuwepo utulivu wa kifedha na uwiano wa kipato.

Pia NMB inatambua kuwa swala hili ni miongoni ya vipaumbele vya Malengo ya Maendeleo Endelevu (SDGs) ya Umoja wa Mataifa. Bw Akonaay alisema umuhimu wake kimaendeleo ni pamoja na kuzingatia ukuaji wa biashara za kibenki.

LNG PROJECT SET TO INCREASE TANZANIA’S GDP BY OVER $7BN PER YEAR AND CONTRIBUTE OVER $2BN IN GOVERNMENT REVENUES

Minister for Energy, Hon. January Makamba (left) receiving Stanbic Bank's independent macroeconomic study on the Tanzania Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) project from the bank CEO, Kevin Wingfield (centre) during the reports launch event today in Dar es Salaam. In Tanzania, this report is the first of its kind, and will help policymakers, investors, the public and other stakeholders in the energy sector to understand the economic impacts of the implementation of the LNG project. Looking on is Manzi Rwegasira (right), Head of Corporate and Investment banking.

• LNG Project set to increase Tanzania’s GDP by over $7bn per year and contribute over $2bn in government revenues 

Dar es Salaam, 26th October 2022 - Stanbic Bank Tanzania (a subsidiary of Standard Bank Group) released an independent macroeconomic study on the Tanzania Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) project. The study is the latest in a series of macroeconomic reports examining the socio-economic impact of major energy projects on countries on the continent and their people. A previous study looked at Mozambique’s economy and the potential impact of its LNG projects.

The report was launched in Dar es Salaam at an event attended by Honourable January Makamba, Minister for Energy of the United Republic of Tanzania, senior government officials and representatives from the Ministry of Energy; representatives from the Tanzanian private sector, industry experts, civil society and other stakeholders.

According to the Bank’s analysis, Tanzania could expect to see significant economic benefits from the LNG project. It is believed that, upon completion, Tanzania LNG will be the largest energy project in Africa’s history in terms of capital investment. It would increase Tanzania’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by $7 billion per annum. By comparison, Tanzania’s GDP in 2020 was $62 billion according to the World Bank (WB).

The magnitude of the economic impact is correlated with the expected future price of LNG. The Bank has therefore modelled for different future price scenarios, starting with $5.50 MMBTU as a baseline and rising to $12.00 MMBTU as an upside case.

STANDARD CHARTERED BANK'S EXIT FROM RETAIL BUSINESS AND THE FUTURE

Standard Chartered Bank Tanzania’s Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Herman Kasekende responds to questions by The Citizen’s Managing Editor, Mpoki Thomson in Dar es Salaam recently.

• Four months after his appointment as Standard Chartered Bank Tanzania’s Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Herman Kasekende had a one on one with The Citizen’s Managing Editor, Mpoki Thomson to discuss the lender’s priorities in Tanzania’s financial market, operational landscape, the role it plays in financing key strategic projects, as well as new developments in the sector. Excerpts;

As the new CEO of Standard Chartered Bank Tanzania, what are your top priorities, and how will they impact Tanzania’s financial sector?

As a global bank, strategic priority number one is to leverage our network in Tanzania. With our strengths being in Africa, Middle East and Asia, while also being listed in the UK and Hong Kong, what we do very well is to deliver that network to our clients, mainly the corporate banking clients.

The next strategic priority is about digitizing our operations. We want to make sure that we invest a lot more in digital and get all of our operations and transactions to online channels. Right now, close to about 95 percent to 96 percent of our transactions are actually done digitally.

Another strategic area is about sustainability and climate change. As an institution we’ve taken steps to accelerate our operations to net zero.

I’m happy to note that our key regulator – Bank of Tanzania (BoT), is actually committed and aligned with the ambitions for sustainability.

We’re also working with the Ministry of Finance to come up with a sustainable finance framework which will enable the country to take advantage of some better priced financing which is available in the debt and capital markets.

Standard Chartered Bank Tanzania is set to exit consumer, private and business banking in Tanzania. What does this mean for your clients and your operations in the country?

We are committed and we believe in the prospects for Tanzania in terms of growth. When you look at East Africa, one of the best performing markets is actually Tanzania in fundamental areas: GDP growth, inflation, stability of exchange rates and interest rates.

However, what we did was to rebalance our portfolio by assessing our priority areas and where we can make the most impact. We will only do business where we believe there is scale and scope. I have no doubt that there are enough banks active to support the retail business in Tanzania.
