anzania’s export sector continued to strengthen in the year ending October 2025, powered by a sharp rise in gold earnings and sustained growth in tourism receipts, according to the Bank of Tanzania’s latest report.
The Monthly Economic Review for November shows that exports of goods and services jumped by 12.7 percent to $17.05 billion from $15.13 billion in the previous year, reflecting stronger performance across several key foreign-exchange earners.
“This increase was driven by higher exports of gold, manufactured goods, tobacco, cashew nuts and coffee,” the central bank said in the report.
Gold and tourism remained the dominant drivers of the rebound, helping to narrow the current account deficit by nearly a quarter.
Gold exports recorded one of their strongest performances in recent years, soaring by 38.9 percent to $4.60 billion from $3.3 billion a year earlier, according to the report.
The central bank attributed the increase mainly to higher global gold prices, which lifted the value of shipments despite stable production levels.
