TONY ELUMELU SAYS COVID-19 PRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO RESET AFRICA

Chairman of the United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, Tony Elumelu.

• Advocates Martial Plan to Boost Electricity And Ease Debt Burden

• Wants Youths Prioritised as SMEs are Empowered

The Chairman of the United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, Tony Elumelu, has stated that the Coronavirus Pandemic currently ravaging the world presents an opportunity to reset the African continent so that Africans can be empowered to become more productive and self reliant. He said this recently at the high-level Roundtable discussions made up of African leaders including Dr. Ngozi Okonjo - Iweala, the Special Envoy of the African Union on Covid-19 and Tidjane Thiam who is also a Covid-19 Special Envoy responsible for mobilising international economic support for Africa.

During the session titled ‘Resilient World: An African call for a new world order’, Elumelu stated “I see this pandemic as an opportunity to reset Africa.’ Whilst pointing out that Africa as a continent has all it takes to emerge into a strong digital economy, the UBA Group Chairman advocated a martial plan that will galvanise the entire continent and make Africa less dependent on the ‘circularity of debt’ from developed nations, which according to him, has been a major setback for decades.

He said, “I feel that as we engage the rest of the world in providing relief, we need to look for a more fundamental solution to Africa’s challenges. I have often argued for a martial plan overtime. We need to mobilise everyone. If we have a martial plan that mobilises resources to address particular issues, then we can mitigate against this constant begging for assistance.”

CLYDE & CO UPDATER; COVID-19 TANZANIA - UPDATE ON THE POLICY MEASURES INTRODUCED BY THE BANK OF TANZANIA

In light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank of Tanzania (the BoT) has taken steps to introduce policy measures to safeguard the stability of the financial sector. In this article, we outline the policy measures which the Monetary Policy Committee of the BoT have recently approved to maintain stability in the financial sector and to ensure there is guidance in relation to increased non-cash transactions.

The policy measures that have been approved by the Governor of the the BoT are set out below:

1. Statutory Minimum Reserves (SMR)

The BoT intends to lower the SMR requirement from 7% to 6%. Pursuant to the BoT Act 2006, the BoT may require banks or financial institutions to maintain minimum cash balances with the BoT as reserves against the deposit and other liabilities of the banks and financial institutions and may, in that respect, prescribe the currency or the currencies in which such balances shall be held. According to the Press Statement, this policy measure will come into effect on 8 June 2020 and is expected to provide additional liquidity to banks. This policy measure has often been taken by the BoT in the past given prevailing economic conditions and has proven effective to spur economic growth in the market.

2. Discount Rate

In anticipation that banks may require additional funding from the BoT in light of COVID-19 the BoT has reduced the discount rate from 7% to 5%. The discount rate is the rate at which the BoT lends to banks. According to the Press Statement, this policy measure came into effect on 12 May 2020 and will enable banks to borrow additional funds from the BoT at a lower discount rate to then lend to their customers at a lower rate.

3. Haircuts on Government Securities

In relation to government securities, the BoT has reduced haircuts on treasury bills from 10 percent to 5 percent and on treasury bonds from 40% to 20% marking a significant change which has been made in the expectation that it would increase the ability of commercial banks to borrow from the BoT with less collateral than before. Haircuts are the difference between the current market value of an asset and the amount that can be used as collateral for a loan. A higher haircut means that if there is a drop in the market value of the collateral, the lender is still able to recover the amount that has been maintained as collateral. According to the Press Statement this policy measure came into effect on 12 May 2020.

COVID-19: COMPANIES MUST ENACT NEW POLICIES TO SLOW THE SPREAD AND PROTECT WORKERS

The outbreak of COVID-19 has prompted many industries to adapt how they conduct business operations.

In an effort to slow the spread of the virus and protect workers, many industries have sought to enact new policies. In Tanzania, the country’s civil aviation authority suspended all international flights. Meanwhile, decisions were made to temporarily close schools and pause sporting events to prevent large public gatherings.

Elsewhere, it is likely that some of the country’s larger companies have looked to cancel face-to-face meetings, postpone conferences, reduce international travel and – where possible – use digital technology – to maintain routine business activity.

Going forward, many of these companies are likely to have to consider these steps when planning business operations in the coming weeks and months. The preparatory work surrounding an initial public offering (IPO) is a good example of where companies may choose to postpone activities.

It is important to remember that IPOs require a great deal of in-person meetings, audits and presentations. It therefore might be wise for the IPO to be delayed until a time when it is safer and easier to do so.

One of the country’s largest telcos – Tigo Tanzania – was preparing for its IPO. In these times, however, it might be wise to postpone such a move, to help encourage social distancing, reduce unnecessary travel and help minimize the spread of COVID-19.

By pausing non-essential activities, companies can wait and prepare for the right window of opportunity, knowing they are poised to resume at a time when is best suited for all.

Katikati ni Mfamasia wa hospitali hiyo, Simon Mbise.

15 Mei 2020, Dar es Salaam - Benki ya Commercial Bank of Africa (CBA) Tanzania imetoa msaada wa matanki nane ya maji yasiyo na mkono kwa hospitali nne zilizochaguliwa jijini Dar es salaam kukabiliana na mahitaji yanayoongezeka ya kusafisha mikono ambayo ni hatua muhimu katika kupambana na COVID-19.

Akikabidhi mchango huo Afisa Mtendaji Mkuu wa CBA, Gift Shoko amesema msaada huo ni sehemu ya hatua zilizochukuliwa na CBA kuunga mkono juhudi za serikali katika kupambana na kusambaa kwa COVID-19 nchini Tanzania.

"Commercial Bank of Africa (Tanzania) imejitolea kusaidia hospitali ziweze kutoa vifaa sahihi kwa watu wanaotembelea hospitali hizo ili kuwawezesha kutekeleza utaratibu wa kunawa mikono kwa sababu ni silaha muhimu ya kupambana na virusi vya corona. Mara baada ya kutambua kuwepo kwa ongezeko la mahitaji ya vifaa vya kunawia mikono, benki ya CBA ilianza kufanya mchakato wa kupata matanki kwaajili ya kuhifadhia maji katika kusaidia upatikanaji wa vifaa vya kunawia mikono katika hospitali ambako ndio sehemu muhimu kwaajili ya ustawi wa jamii ya Dar es salaam." Alifafanua bwana Shoko

"Kama tunavyofahamu, maambukizi ya virusi vya corona yanaweza kutokea kwa kugusa sehemu iliyoguswa na mtu mwenye virusi, hivyo tumehakikisha kwamba matanki ya maji yamewekewa kifaa cha kufungulia maji kwa kukanyaga kwa mguu ili kumlinda zaidi mtumiaji.

Hospitali ambazo zimenufaika na msaada huo ni pamoja na Amana, Sinza, Mwananyamala na Lugalo.

Hospitali hizi zinahudumia idadi kubwa ya watu kila siku, hivyo tuliamua kuanza na hizi. Ni matumaini yetu kwamba tutaweza kuzifikia hospitali nyingi zaidi katika siku zijazo" Alieleza zaidi bwana Shoko.

TIMIZA AKIBA’S GROWTH DEMONSTRATES HOW REWARDING SAVING CAN BE FOR ALL TANZANIANS

Dar es Salaam, Tanzania - With total savings growing by more than 30% in the last three months alone, Timiza Akiba is proving to be a safe and accessible option to help Tanzanians save their hard-earned cash –simply, safely and easily, using their mobile phones.

Launched just under two years ago, through a partnership with Airtel, Letshego Bank Tanzania and financial technology company JUMO, Timiza Akiba is Tanzania’s first fee-free, interest-bearing mobile money savings account. With the initial aim to drive a savings culture among the people of Tanzania and help them reach their business or personal financial goals, the dynamic partnership is showing signs of sustained success.

Timiza Akiba allows Airtel customers to set up a savings account and save any amount from TSH 100 up to TSH 5 Million directly from their mobile phones, without having to handle cash or travel to a bank. The funds are managed by Letshego Bank Tanzania and those customers who manage to avoid spending their savings, receive a monthly sum as a reward for their commitment towards reaching their financial buffer, or goal. Timiza Akiba’s reward is calculated as a percentage of total savings on a balance of any size, and supports national government mandates to encourage and support the growth and development of the local savings culture.

TANZANIA TELCOS ARE PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE IN FIGHTING COVID-19

The outbreak of COVID-19 has had an enormous impact upon many societies, affecting citizens and healthcare workers across Africa.

Countries across the continent – Tanzania included – have worked hard to help hospitals and medical facilities to manage, wherever possible, the predicted increase in demand for healthcare workers and medical facilities.

These measures have included closing schools and hotels; discouraging mass gatherings such as sporting events; and implementing plans to build a new medical facility in Dar es Salaam.

Meanwhile, technology companies across the world are working with healthcare providers to develop ways to meet the requirements of patients who might think they have COVID-19 or other medical needs. As such, many are coming to realise the important role that digital technology can play in supporting patients and help healthcare providers work more effectively.

Digital technology, often driven by telco companies, has been supporting Tanzania’s healthcare industry for some time.

For example, Tigo Tanzania offers its customers an application to enroll themselves into life, accident and hospitalization insurance simply through their smartphone. Tigo’s health insurance product – known as Bima Mkononi – offers customers and their families financial support for each night an inpatient is admitted.

Meanwhile, Tigo’s birth registration application allows parents of new-born children to enter their registration information into their mobile phones which is then submitted to a central database.

BENKI YA NMB, MASTERCARD NA EYWA WASHIRIKIANA KULETA MFUMO WA MALIPO KWA NJIA YA KIDIJITALI KWA WASAFIRI TANZANIA

Benki ya NMB kwa kushirikiana na Mastercard na kampuni ya utoaji huduma za usafiri - EYWA, wamezindua mfumo mpya wa malipo kwa njia ya kidijitali kwa wasafiri nchini Tanzania. Mfumo huo unaojulikana kama ‘EYWA Transit Solution’, utawawezesha wasafiri kukata tiketi kwa njia ya kidijitali kupitia simu za mkononi na kadi maalumu.

Suluhisho hili linalenga kutatua changamoto za huduma za usafirishaji nchini kwa kupunguza matumizi ya mfumo wa malipo ya fedha taslimu na kuwa katika njia ya kidijitali kwa mamilioni ya abiria wanaosafiri kila siku.

“Utaratibu huu wa malipo ni sehemu ya mikakati ya Benki ya NMB kurahisisha upatikanaji wa huduma za kifedha kwa wadau wa sekta ya usafiri nchini,” alisema Ruth Zaipuna, Kaimu Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa benki ya NMB.

Kupitia huduma hii, wasafiri wataweza kuangalia muda wa safari, kupata taarifa fupi, kuscan kadi na kuingia ndani ya basi bila kupanga foleni. Watumiaji wa smartphone wataweza kupakua program maalumu kupata maelezo ya huduma hiyo jambo ambalo litazuia au kupunguza mawasiliano ya ana kwa ana katika utoaji huduma za usafiri.

STAYING DIGITALLY CONNECTED IS NOW MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER

For many countries across the world, Covid-19 is having a widespread – and potentially long lasting – impact on people’s daily lives.

In response to the travel restrictions, school closures and recommendations that people do not attend mass gatherings to help slow the spread of the virus, many Tanzanians have turned to digital tools to continue certain aspects of their day-to-day lives.

Across the country, people rely on interactions with friends, family and members of the local community. With people being urged not to gather in large groups, staying digitally connected is now more important than ever.

It is useful to remember that while some people will not be able to visit friends and family in person, they are still just a phone call away. Digital technology is an essential tool for maintaining communication, it is helping loved ones stay in touch and is having a positive impact on our mental wellbeing.
