The Tanzania Investment and Special Zones Authority (TISEZA) has registered 201 investment projects worth TZS 6.18 trillion between July and September 2025.
The projects are expected to generate over 20,800 jobs for Tanzanians and promote technological advancement, industrial growth, and a competitive economy geared towards sustainable national development.
Speaking at a press conference in Dar es Salaam, TISEZA Director General Gilead Teri said that the period recorded an increase in local investor participation.
Out of the 201 projects, 74 were registered by local investors, representing 35% of the total, compared to 27% during the same period last year.
The main sectors that attracted the highest investments were manufacturing, commercial building construction, and transportation.
Teri added that the leading sources of capital investment during the period were the United Arab Emirates (UAE), China, and India, reflecting growing international confidence in Tanzania’s investment environment.
Dar es Salaam, Pwani, and Arusha regions recorded the highest number of projects, continuing to lead in attracting new investments.
Through its ongoing campaign to promote investment in Special Economic Zones (SEZs), TISEZA is offering opportunities to both local and foreign investors in 10 priority sectors, including automotive manufacturing, renewable energy products, electrical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and various industrial goods.
