You started by suggesting that World Bank just copies data from governments and I showed that they don't do that for poor countries and dictatorships. They use their own methods to make estimates. As for my statement, I will prove it to you. According to World Bank, between 2019 and 2020 it says that Tanzania grew by only 2%. Now do you believe that? Just be honest. Tanzania never went into lockdown during Covid-19 pandemic which started at the beginning of 2019 therefore Tanzania's economy grew normally without lockdowns. They may have received less tourists and exported a little bit less but essentially their economy was still running almost normally when ours was locked down and there is no way they grew at 2%. So how can World Bank estimate that Tanzania's economy grew by 2% between 2019 and 2020 if it is not bias?
The final thing I want to do is to prove to you that World Bank actually believes that Tanzania grew by 2% between 2019 and 2020. I am attaching a graph from World Bank's website and in that graph you can see that World Bank is estimating Tanzania's 2019 gdp figure at $61.14 billion and 2020 gdp figure at $62.41 billion. The difference is 62.41-61.14=$1.27 billion. World Bank is estimating that between 2019 and 2020 Tanzania added only $1.27 billion to its gdp? This $1.27 billion translates to 2% growth rate as follows: 1.27/61.14*100=2%. Wewe niambie Tanzania hawakuenda lockdown halafu waligrow at 2%, unaamini hio? I have used World Bank's figures sio zangu na unaweza kuzipata hapa kwa hii link ninaiweka hapa chini.
