[PRESSWIRE] Dar es Salaam, Tanzania – 2026-02-15 — Tanzania’s Vice-President Emmanuel Nchimbi has called on the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE) to intensify efforts to mobilise investment and innovate market strategies to support the country’s long-term economic vision.

Speaking in Dodoma during a meeting with DSE Chief Executive Peter Nalitolela, Dr Nchimbi said capital markets play a critical role in channeling long-term capital toward productive sectors, vital for attracting multi-national investors and supporting structural economic transformation.

“Tanzania’s growth aspirations require robust financial markets that are efficient, transparent and attractive to both domestic and foreign investors,” he said.

The DSE, a key institution in the country’s financial system, had a market capitalisation of about 31.9 trillion Tanzanian shillings and roughly 779,000 registered investors, demonstrating growing participation in capital markets.

Nchimbi urged the exchange to deepen its market functions, adopt smart technologies, and promote investor education campaigns to raise awareness of the benefits of investing through the bourse.

Mr Nalitolela reaffirmed the DSE’s commitment to partnering with government and stakeholders to mobilise long-term finance that supports strategic sectors, including infrastructure, manufacturing and technology.

The DSE participates in regional and global capital market networks, including associations under the East African Community (EAC) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC), strengthening Tanzania’s integration with regional capital markets.
