Over
100 different languages are spoken in Tanzania, making it the most
linguistically diverse country in East Africa. Tanzania does not have an
official language, although the national language is Swahili. Since 1996, its
official capital has been Dodoma where the president’s office, the National
Assembly, and some government ministries are located. Dar es Salaam, the former
capital, retains most government offices and is the country’s largest city,
principal port, and leading commercial centre.

Economically,
according to recent reports from the Central Bank, the economy grew by 6.7% on
average in the first three quarters of 2018, with healthy private sector credit
growth in the fourth quarter pointing to resilient economic dynamics. The
construction sector accounted for the lion’s share of growth in Q1-Q3,
supported by buoyant public infrastructure spending. Tanzania’s economic growth
is expected to average 6.2% between 2017 and 2026. The growth is underpinned by
infrastructure development and a growing consumer base. Heavy infrastructure investment
into rail, port and road is expected to be one of the main drivers of Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) growth between 2017 and 2026. BMI forecasts the real
growth of fixed capital formation to average 7.1% within this period.
