Tanzania breaks the mould to stay on strong growth track in 2020

Tanzania's inflation rate is expected to rise from 3.4 per cent in 2019 to 4.2 per cent in 2020 despite a robust economic growth of 6.5 per cent in 2020 compared with 6.6 per cent in 2019.
Standard Chartered Bank’s 2020 Economic Outlook Report for East Africa released on January 29, also notes that an easing of the country’s monetary policy in 2018-19 had allowed private sector credit extension to start accelerating again after a 2017 slowdown.
“The current account deficit will likely stay wide in 2020. While we have revised our 2019 deficit forecast to 4.2 per cent of GDP (previous 5.6 per cent), we see it expanding in 2020 to 4.5 per cent (previous 5.5 per cent) of GDP due to higher imports,” the report says.
Oil hiccups
Sarah Baynton-Glen, the bank’s Africa economist, said Tanzania’s current blueprint to improve the business environment, accommodative monetary policy, and public infrastructure investment were all good pillars supporting further economic growth this year.
“Agriculture should be a key growth driver in 2020, and the government is targeting $2 billion of annual horticulture exports by 2025. Resolution of issues arising from state intervention in agriculture and mining should also provide a more positive backdrop to growth in 2020,” Ms Baynton-Glen added.
She also noted that the country’s foreign exchange market is also likely to be boosted by greater cashew exports and the recent resumption of gold and copper concentrates exports following an agreement between the government and Barrick Gold.
The report notes that in 2019, the country's trade deficit increased on higher capital goods and oil imports, despite higher gold exports, which increased 26 per cent year-on-year in the year to September 2019 due to higher prices and the resumption of cashew exports.
The report offers mixed predictions for Kenya and Uganda.
On Uganda, chief economist in charge of Africa Razia Khan said “delays to first oil” were likely to weaken near-term growth prospects, causing it to lower 2020 and 2021 growth forecasts to 6.0 and 6.2 per cent respectively from 6.2 and 6.5 per cent prior.
“Uganda’s fiscal policy challenges will remain centred on raising its low rate of revenue collection. Ideally, the authorities want to see a gradual increment of at least 0.5 percentage point of GDP in revenue each year. And, achieving sustained progress in revenue mobilisation, especially with elections approaching, has traditionally been a challenge,” Ms Khan said.
The report noted that although the full impact of the regional locust invasion was difficult to assess, food prices have already been pressured higher from a low base by December flooding in eastern Uganda.
“The Bank of Uganda can be expected to keep its policy rate on hold at 9.0 per cent throughout 2020, having previously seen scope for more easing,” it said.
It added that pending elections in 2021 and rising caution over the extent of the government’s public financing requirement meant the Bank of Uganda was likely to adopt a tighter policy stance with 200 barrels per day of rate hikes in 2021.

The Kenyan music industry is continuously growing with every passing year.
Many people have come to realise the artsy nature of music.
Just like local artists, international musicians have realised the huge fan base they have in Kenya.
Some of them have visited and performed more than twice in the country.
Crowd cheers the performances

Here are some of the international artists who performed this year.
Konshens
Jamaican dancehall star Garfield Spence alias Konshens visited Kenya for the second time almost five years after his last visit.
Konshens stirred up Hype fest which was held on November 7 at the Ngong Racecourse in Nairobi.

The bruk off yuh back hit maker as expected did not disappoint in his performance.
He thrilled his over 10, 000 energetic fans with an electrifying performance for three hours.
However, the one thing that stole the show for the wildly excited fans was one of Konshens' dancers.
The curvy dancer was aggressively daggering on the stage to the amusement of the audience.
Konshens is known for his extremely raunchy performances with explicit dancers.
T.I
American rapper TI headlined the hottest annual hip hop concert, Jameson connects this year. The event was held on December 7 at Nairobi's Uhuru Gardens.
The award-winning crooner performed some of his greatest hits including live your life, no mediocre , whatever you like among others.

Also, playing at the installation was an extensive lineup including Alternate Sounds, Khaligraph Jones, Bey T and Nviiri the Storyteller.
Dj Hypnotiq, Dj Redbone and Jo Kisila were on the decks as Al Black hosted the showcase.
Chris Martin
Jamaican reggae and dance hall artiste Chis Martin was also in Kenya this year at the Big Deal Concert.
Not even bad weather prevented reggae fans who thronged the venue on December 7 at the Impala Grounds.
The weekend love hitmaker greatly ignited the cold night with an on-point performance for the ages.
Fellow compatriots and musicians Future Fambo and D- Major also performed at the concert.

The concert also featured Kenyan musicians including Bensoul, KRG the Don, Elani and Masauti.
The showstopper was moved by the massive turn out and took to social media to appreciate his fan love.
“Nairobi! I am humbled! The love you showed me tonight, I’m that rain...if I spent all the money/valuables I possess I could not pay u for the love u gave me tonight!!! Thank you!!!! I love you all very much!” read his post.
The singer was dressed by Kenyan designer David Avigo of looks like Avido for the concert.
Morgan Heritage
The Grammy Award-winning reggae family Morgan Heritage also visited Kenya this year.
They performed at the much anticipated Tomorrow Leaders' Festival at the Kasarani Stadium on June 8.
The festival was a charity project between the Jamaican reggae stars and Kenya's hitmaker Naiboi.
The concert featured huge line-up performances from local to international artists, including Alaine, J Boog, Jemere Morgan, African acts Stone Bwoy and Jose Chameleon, and local acts Wyre the Lovechild, Naiboi and Shiko Femi One.
Morgan Heritage was majorly applauded for going all Kenyan in their video 'Pay Attention', featuring Patoranking.

Apart from the models, the technical crew involved in producing the video was also Kenyan, including Kevin Bosco, known for other big videos in Kenya.

Another Jamaican star who jet into the country this year was the sensational Jah Cure.

Kanda Bongo Man
The Congolese musician was in Kenya during the two - day Koroga Festival which was held at the Bomas of Kenya.
The star curtain raised the event which celebrates African diversity in food, art and fashion.
His performance was proceeded by fellow compatriot-cum musician Mbilia Bel.
Other artists who performed at the festival included Emma Jalamo and Steve Kay.
Despite the cold weather, wet roads and mud, Kenyans turned out in large numbers to enjoy the African hits.
Bongo man is an internationally acclaimed Lingala musician.
He was living in Kenya for about five years before 1991.
The star was deported out of the country together with members of his band in still unexplained circumstances.
