Tanzania National Debt Sustainability Analysis,2021

Abstract

The Debt Sustainability Analysis (DSA) is conducted in accordance with Regulation 38 (d) of the Government Loans, Guarantees and Grant Act, Cap. 134, which requires the Government to conduct DSA on annual basis. The main objective of the exercise is to evaluate the capacity of the country to meet its current and future debt obligations and guide the borrowing decisions in a way that balances gross financing needs with the ability to repay both in the present and in the future. The 2021 DSA has seen all external debt burden indicators continue to remain below the thresholds under the baseline, indicating that Tanzania’s debt remains sustainable in the medium and long-term.
