GDP (Gross Domestic Product): Tanzania

Analysis# Tanzania GDP (Gross Domestic Product) Tanzania's GDP reached $95.349 billion in 2026, marking its all-time peak. The East African nation has experienced remarkable economic expansion since 1980, when GDP stood at just $10.84 billion—a cumulative increase of 776.9%. The contrast with 1993's all-time low of $5.17 billion underscores the volatility of Tanzania's recent economic history and the subsequent recovery and growth achieved over three decades. The past decade reveals accelerating momentum. From 2017 to 2026, GDP grew from $54 billion to $95.349 billion, with particularly strong expansion between 2024 and 2026—an 8-unit jump in 2025 alone. This sustained upward trajectory reflects Tanzania's growing status as one of Africa's faster-expanding economies, driven by resource sectors and improving infrastructure investment.
