Fitch reaffirmed Tanzania’s credit rating at B+ with a stable outlook, citing strong GDP growth of 6% and declining public debt. The agency highlighted external risks, low reserves, and ongoing reforms supported by IMF programmes.
The rating agency stated that Tanzania’s credit profile is supported by real GDP growth projected at 6% in both 2026 and 2027, above the B-rated peers’ median of 4.5%, driven by expansion in agriculture, mining, and infrastructure investment, including the Standard Gauge Railway and the East African Crude Oil Pipeline.
