Tanzania

Tanzania's output is spread almost evenly across its three sectors. Industry contributes 29.8% of output, services 28.8% and agriculture 22.9%, with manufacturing at 8.4% as of 2023. Real growth reached +5.8% in 2025, while US$ GDP rose 13.8% to US$90.1 billion; the 7.9-percentage-point gap was mostly exchange-rate and price effects, not output.

Even so, Tanzania slipped 1 place to 84th, behind Panama and ahead of Uruguay. It is the 9th largest of 47 economies in Sub-Saharan Africa and about the size of the New Orleans, LA metro area. Inflation was 3.3%, unemployment 1.6% and government gross debt 49.8% of GDP.

With 70.5 million people, output per person is US$1,319, 171st of 196, or $4,471 international dollars on a purchasing-power basis, 167th. GDP has grown 6.7x since 2000, when it stood at US$13.4 billion and ranked 80th. The IMF projects US$138.6 billion by 2030, a rise of +54% that would lift Tanzania to 76th among economies with forecasts.
