The Tanzania Chamber of Commerce Industry and Agriculture (TCCIA) confirmed the launch of the savings and credit cooperatives society (SACCOS) for the chamber soon in Dar Es Salaam.

The Executive Director of the Chamber Mr. Getfried Muganda told to local media recently that they have started to register members and have recruited staff as per demand to run the office.
