Katika azma yake ya kuchangia ujumuishi wa kifedha nchini kupitia huduma za bima, Benki ya NMB Jumatatu wiki hii imezindua msimu wa tatu wa kampeni ya elimu na uelewa wa masuala ya bima ya Umebima jijini Mbeya.

Kama ilivyokuwa kwa misimu ya awali, mchakato wa Umebima wa mwaka huu ni wa kitaifa na lengo lake kuu ni kuunga mkono ajenda ya taifa ya bima kwa wote.

Wakizungumza kwenye hafla ya uzinduzi huo iliyofanyika Mwanjelwa-Kabwe, maafisa wa NMBwalisema kampeni hiyo inashabiiana na malengo ya serikali ya kuongeza uelewa wa masuala ya bima na kuongeza matumizi ya huduma zake.

Afisa Mkuu wa Wateja Binafsi na Biashara wa NMB, Bw. Filbert Mponzi, alisema kwa sasa uelewa wa bima nchini ni mdogo sana na kusisitiza kuwa bado kuna kazi kubwa kuhakikisha watu wengi zaidi wanakata bima kujikinga na majanga ili kuboresha kiwango cha asilimia 1.6 cha kusambaa kwa huduma hizo.

Aidha, alibainisha kuwa kimsingi kampeni ya Umebima imejikita kuyakabili mapungufu hayo kwa kuuelimisha umma kuhusu umuhimu na faida za bima hasa kwa wale ambao hawajafikiwa na huduma hiyo au kufahamu uwepo wake.

Bw Mponzi alisema tangu NMB ipate leseni ya uwakala wa bima mwaka 2020 imekuwa mstari wa mbele katika kusaidia kuongeza uelewa wa bima nchini na sasa hivi watu wengi wanazidi kukata bima na kuwa na kinga ya uhakika dhidi ya majanga.

NMB YAANDIKA HISTORIA MPYA YA FAIDA, SH. BIL. 429 KWA MWAKA 2022

NMB SETS NEW HISTORIC PROFIT WITH 429BN/- NET INCOME

NMB Bank Plc has raised the profitability bar of the local banking industry after setting yet another net income record of TZS 429 billion that was garnered from the unexampled annual earnings of TZS 1.2 trillion in 2022.

From the new historic net profit, the bank has allocated a whopping TZS 6.2 billion for financing impactful social investments, which board chair Dr Edwin Mhede said was unprecedented locally.

“This milestone financial performance and social impact commitment, underscores the bank’s focus towards driving Tanzania’s socio-economic development agenda, and cements NMB Bank’s market leadership position,” the top lender said in a presser.

Promulgating the full year results on Thursday last week in Dar es Salaam, Chief Executive Officer Ruth Zaipuna, said the extraordinary performance was the outcome of several factors, including a business friendly environment put in place by the Government’s supportive policies.

The veteran banker added that the 2022 financial outturn reflects the strong performance momentum NMB has had in the last four years and the impact of its service excellence and corporate giving agenda on people’s lives and productive activities.

“The bank’s profit after tax increased by 47 per cent to top TZS 429 billion compared to TZS 290 billion in 2021 leading to the new biggest historic profit to have ever been made in Tanzania’s banking sector,” Ms Zaipuna said.

“That is an increase of more than TZS 130 billion year-on-year but 2022 profitability becomes monumentally significant when compared to the net profit of TZS 98 billion which NMB made in 2018,” she added.

The new performance excellence was attained after the lender made a pre-tax profit of TZS 621 billion, up 49 per cent over the TZS 414 billion that was generated in 2021. The impressive results were obtained in the backdrop of total income crossing the TZS 1 trillion mark for the first time in the 25 years of NMB after rising by 23 per cent year-on-year.

President Samia Suluhu Hassan with Senegal President, Macky Sally (centre) and the African Development Bank (AfDB) Presidwent, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina on the sidelines of the Dakar 2 Summit in Dakar, Senegal yesterday.

President Samia Suluhu Hassan has painted a bright future for the youth in agriculture, saying the government continues to create a conducive environment to attract them to actively engage in the sector.

Speaking as a panelist at the Second Africa Food Summit which opened in Dakar, Senegal yesterday, President Samia said the government is well aware that the future of agriculture will not be realistic without youths active participation, since the group commands 44.5 per cent of the country’s 61.7 million people as per the 2022 Population and Housing Census.

“Having a large population of youths brings with it a lot of challenges and unemployment issues. We then thought youth can actively be used to produce in agriculture sector and to be able to do that, we studied what are the challenges that are discouraging them from joining agriculture sector,” she said.

President Samia said that the government had identified four challenges that include lack of land ownership among youth, lack of finances, technology and pre-requisite mechanisations that support the youths to thrive in agriculture sector.
