Depreciation of tanzania shilling, are policy makers still asleep?

[Ndachuwa]

What are policy makers (Government and BoT) doing to make our shilling stable?

1. "If a factor increases the demand for domestic goods relatively to foreign goods, the domestic currency will appreciate; if a factor decreases the relative demand for domestic goods, the domestic currency will depreciate". Is there any positive initiative being done such as AGOA and like? What Ministry of Trade doing to address this?

2. "In the long run, a rise in a Country's price level (relatively to the foreign price level) causes its currency to depreciate, and a fall in the country's relative price level causes its currency to appreciate". What is government doing to reduce rocketing of food prices?

3. "Increasing trade barriers causes a country's currency to appreciate in the long run" Do we really need to continue importing sub-standard goods from china such as plastic shoes, artificial flowers, low quality electrical goods? What is the role of Ministry of Industry and SIDO in supporting small scale industries such as for shoes?

4. "Increased demand for a country's exports causes its currency to appreciate in the long run; conversely, increased demand of imports causes the domestic currency to depreciate". When our leaders will show the way for example wearing suits made from Sungflag produce? Or Stocking their refirgerators with Dodoma wine instead of South Africa wine?

5."In the long run, as the country becomes more productive relative to other countries, its currency appreciates". Has anybody linked the depreciation of our shilling to the effect of factories closed after being privatised?

NB: Exchange rate May 2006 was TZS 1200 to USD; May 2015 TZS 2,000 to USD

Tanzania ifanye haraka tuunganishe sarafu za Afrika Mashariki, itasaidia sana, kwani hapa kwetu tuna wataalam uchwara wa uchumi, tunaviacha vichwa kama Lipumba kujiingiza na siasa na kuchukuliwa nje ya Tanzania kwenda kuwasaidia wengine huko.

Hiki kichwa ndio kilitutoa kwenye lindi la umaskini alilotuingiza Nyerere. Yeye ndiye alikuwa mshauri wa uchumi wa Mwinyi, mwaka tu tuliona mabadiliko makubwa sana mpaka Nyerere akawa anaona wivu na kurusha madongo live.

Sasa FF serekali ndio hiyo ya chama chako haitaki kuelezwa tufanyeje?

Serikali inapokuwa madarakani hufanya kazi kwa ajili ya Watanzania wote na si kwa ajili ya fulani tu.

Sisi tunapendekeza lakini na wao tuwape fursa ya kutazama waonavyo kwani wanayaona mengi ambayo hatuyaoni.

Hicho hicho unachokisifu kuwa ndio kichwa ndio kilichomuingiza mkweree mkenge kwa kumwambia angemtafutia mtu makini wa kuchukua nafasi ya Balllali na ndio kumleta huyu Gavana wa BOT ambaye haelewi kitu gani kinaendelea kwenye uchumi wetu kwani shilingi imeishaanza kupoteza thamani tena!! Lipumba hana ubavu wa kwenda kuwashauri wamerekani ju ya uchumi kule amekwenda kusomeshwa maana ya demokrasia wanavyoielewa wamerekani!!

Hoja dhaifu, bila kuwa kichwa ataendelea kusoma? kama unavyotaka ieleweke?

Kuunganisha nchi ze uchumi usiolingana kuna mathara makubwa kama ilivyotokea ulaya (EUROZONE) nchi zenye uchumi hafifu kama GREESE, IRELAND zimesababisha hata nchi kongwe kama Ujerumani kuyumba. Our policy makers need to do something to address our unique Tanzania problems

Wataalamu wakifanya kazi ya vizuri na kuwasilisha kenye chama bado chama kitakubali tuu. Hivi hawa vijana wetu wanaomaliza vyuo vikuu wote wakipata kazi si chama kitajipongeza?

FF naomba unipenyezee hili bandiko langu kwa Dr Cyril Chami, majibu atakayokupa uje kubandika hapa

You are dead wrong my dear, both in analysis and remedy.
Kushuka thamani ya shillingi yetu ni matokeo ya uzalishaji duni wa mali as against public expenditure, few goods are being chased by a horde of bank notes!
Matokeao yake bei zinapanda.
Makosa ya serikali ni, badala ya ku-cut back on expenditure inaongeza fedha katika mzunguko-kwa ku-print noti nyigi zaidi kuendesha shughuli za serikali.
Austerity lazima iendane na kuongeza juhudi zaidi za uzalishaji mali. Kwa kwetu hapa Tanzania hasa za mazao ya kilimo, kitu kinachoweza kuongeza thamani ya shilingi yetu, na kuongeza uwezo wa watu wengi zaidi nchini
Kujiunga kwa papara katika East African Monetary Union itakuwa kifo kwa uchumi wa Tanzania kama kansa.
Ni ajabu sana kuwa waTanzania wengi hawaelewi matokeo ya matatizo ya kiuchumi yalioikumba European Monetary Union.
Nchi zenye uchumi dhaifu kama Ugiriki,Spain Portugal na hata Italy zinasalimu amri kwa mataifa yenye kifua kiuchumi kama Ujerumani.
Money tends to flow towards the richer and economically stronger partners in any maonetary union, kufumba na kufumbua nchi itajikuta liquid capital yake yote imepotea, bila maelezo yanayokidhi haja.
Tuheshimu ushauri makini wa kiuchumi kwa usalama wetu.

As pointed earlier, a country's currency depreciate when imports are higher than exports. In simple economic principles, you need to have favourable balance of trade, that is your exports must exceed your imports.

 

[Cynic]

... tunaviacha vichwa kama Lipumba.....

wacha kukariri na kuleta pambozp hapa....qasida tupu

 

[masopakyindi]

Nilitegemea mada hii Inge attract thinkers wa ukweli, lakini thinkers wa JF would radher go gossiping!

Mkuu hauko kwenye system ukatekeleza haya mawazo yako. We need another MKAPA immediately to contain our dying economy

Principles za uchumi ni lazima zifuatwe ili kuokoa hali yetu mbaya.
Kama alivyo comment Maospakyindi hapo juu, huwezi kula keki yako na bado ikawepo baada ya kuila!
Sasa hivi Tanzania tunatumia fedha zaidi ya mapato yetu, na tunaishia kuwa na nakisi ya bajeti.
Kweli enzi za MKAPA tulifunga vibwebwe na bei ya sukari ilidumu ile ile kwa miaka 10.
Sasa tunashindwa nini?

Mambo yamezidi kuharibika, May 2006 exchange rate ilikuwa TZS 1,200 leo mwezi wa tano ni TZS 2,000 wala hakuna hatua zozote zinazochukuliwa na serikali wala Benki kuu; maskini mimi hapa ninapofanyia kazi mkataba wa kodi ni kwa Dollar sijui nitafunga ofisi:sad:

Hiyo si kwetu tu, ni Afrika Mashariki yote na nchi nyingi sana duniani.

Kuna sababu zake na mpaka sasa sijaona hata mmoja aliokuja kuelezea hizo sababu.

kama linchi lenu lina uchumi mbovu ndio utake kwenda kuungana na wengine,uwadidimize kwa uchumi wako wa ovyo.wewe ni pepo au mtu? huyo kikwete unayempenda si ndio rais mwambie arekebishe.

Tatizo lako huelewi kinachoendelea. Tanzania leo ni moja katika nchi zinazokuwa kiuchumi haraka sana duniani kuliko Kenya.
