DAR ES SALAAM, Machi 1 (Reuters) - Benki ya Dunia inatabiri uchumi wa Tanzania kukua kati ya 4.5% hadi 5.5% mwaka huu ikilinganishwa na 4.3% mwaka 2021, kama urejeshaji wa vikwazo vinavyohusiana na coronavirus katika nchi nyingi kukuza utalii na biashara, Mkurugenzi wa nchi alisema Jumanne.
Baada ya awali kupuuza ukubwa wa janga la COVID-19 chini ya hayati Rais John Magufuli, Tanzania ilibadili mtazamo wake chini ya mrithi wake, Rais Samia Suluhu Hassan, na kuzindua mpango wa chanjo Agosti mwaka jana.
"Mpango wa chanjo ni muhimu kwa ajili ya kuimarisha ufufuaji wa usafiri na utalii wa kimataifa, ambao kwa pamoja unachangia zaidi ya robo moja ya mauzo ya nje ya nchi," Mara Warwick, Mkurugenzi wa Benki ya Dunia nchini Tanzania, alisema wakati wa uzinduzi wa ripoti kuhusu. uchumi wa nchi.

Walakini, Warwick alisema uwezekano wa kutokea kwa anuwai mpya za coronavirus, kupungua kwa mtiririko wa mtaji, viwango vya juu vya deni na shinikizo la kuendelea la mfumuko wa bei na vile vile vikwazo vya usambazaji vilileta hatari kwa ukuaji unaotarajiwa.
Uchambuzi wa pamoja wa IMF na Benki ya Dunia kuhusu uhimilivu wa deni la Tanzania uliofanyika Septemba mwaka jana ulisema hatari ya nchi kupata deni la nje imeongezeka kutoka chini hadi wastani.
"Kushuka kwa kiwango kulionyesha kuporomoka kwa mauzo ya nje ya utalii wakati wa janga la COVID-19 katika muktadha wa kuongezeka kwa ukopaji usio na masharti na kuongezeka kwa huduma ya deni," Benki ilisema.
Makadirio ya ukuaji wa Benki ya Dunia yanawiana kwa mapana na wizara ya fedha ambayo utabiri wa mwezi Novemba uchumi wa nchi ungepanuka kwa asilimia 5.2 mwaka huu.

DAR ES SALAAM, March 1 (Reuters) - The World Bank predicts Tanzania's economy to expand between 4.5% to 5.5% this year compared to 4.3% in 2021, as a rollback of coronavirus-related restrictions in many countries boosts tourism and trade, its country director said on Tuesday.
After initially downplaying the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic under the late President John Magufuli, Tanzania changed its approach under his successor, President Samia Suluhu Hassan, and launched a vaccination programme in August last year.
"The vaccination programme is crucial for underpinning a stable recovery of international travel and tourism, which together account for more than one quarter of the country’s total exports," Mara Warwick, World Bank Country Director for Tanzania, said at a launch of a report on the country's economy.

However, Warwick said the potential emergence of new coronavirus variants, reduced capital flows, elevated debt levels and persistent inflationary pressures as well as supply bottlenecks posed risks to the projected growth.
A joint IMF-World Bank analysis of Tanzania's debt sustainability conducted in September last year said the country's risk of external debt distress had increased from low to moderate.
"The downgrade primarily reflected the collapse of tourism exports during the COVID-19 pandemic in a context of increased non-concessional borrowing and rising debt service," the Bank said.
The World Bank growth projection range is broadly in sync with the ministry of finance which forecast in November the country's economy would expand at 5.2% this year.
