Tanzanian-Indian Trade is Expected to Reach $7 Billion This Year
Two years prior, the two nations agreed to an agreement to utilise Special Rupee Vostro Accounts (SRVA) to facilitate bilateral trading in local currencies, the Tanzanian shilling and the Indian rupee. The creative strategy is thought to inspire Tanzanian and Indian banks and companies to increase commerce. President Samia Suluhu Hassan's state visit to India last year, according to Sameer Gupta, speaking on behalf of the Tanzania/India Business Forum, was sufficient evidence of the expanding connections. In October 2023, 14 Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) covering different sectors, including sports, digital solutions, and the maritime sector, were signed. The Arusha regional business chamber's Roman Chuwa stated that he hoped that there would be more collaborations between Tanzanian companies and Indian companies. One of India's historic support initiatives for Tanzania is the Institute of Technology in Zanzibar, according to Mr. Kake Dharwal, director of a logistics company with headquarters in Arusha.
