Christopher S. Adam (Oxford University and IGC), Pantaleo J. Kessy (Bank of Tanzania and IGC), Johnson J. Nyella (Bank of Tanzania) and Stephen A. O'Connell (Swarthmore and IGC) develop an econometric model of the demand for money in Tanzania - using quarterly data from 1998 to the present - and discuss the policy implications of the results, including their relevance to the velocity-forecasting exercise that plays a key role in the Central Bank of Tanzania’s policy framework. This paper is the outcome of research collaboration between staff of the Bank of Tanzania and the IGC.

Fiscal Policy Issues for Tanzania

Fri, 2010-01-01

David Bevan discusses Tanzania's short and long term fiscal challenges. Part 1 of his paper focuses on key fiscal and public spending issues, and reviews policy options facing the authorities. While the immediate concern is with how best to handle the consequences of the global shock, these choices must be made in the context of a much longer perspective. Part 2 seeks to identify potential elements in the IGC research programme that could analyse these matters in greater depth.
