Tanzania has recorded a strong financial performance after collecting 1.327 trillion shillings in dividends and statutory contributions from public institutions during the 2025/26 financial year.This marks a 30 percent increase compared to the previous year’s 1.028 trillion shillings, showing improved performance and efficiency in state-owned entities.

The funds were officially presented to President Samia Suluhu Hassan at State House in Dar es Salaam by the Office of the Treasury Registrar, highlighting the importance of public asset management in national development.The collected revenue will be deposited into the Government Consolidated Fund.

This means the money will not be allocated to a single project but will instead support the national budget, helping to finance key development priorities such as healthcare, education, water infrastructure, agriculture, and energy.

The government also expects this revenue stream to reduce reliance on external borrowing and donor funding, strengthening domestic financial independence.

According to government officials, the increase is the result of improved accountability, better governance, and reforms guided by President Samia’s 4Rs philosophy, especially reforms and rebuilding.Commercial public corporations contributed the largest share at 800.

5 billion shillings, followed by non-commercial institutions contributing 406 billion shillings through statutory contributions, while investment returns and other sources added 121.5 billion shillings.Treasury officials explained that stronger management systems and corporate governance have helped state institutions generate higher returns.The government believes continued reforms will further improve efficiency and increase contributions in future years.

Overall, the development reflects Tanzania’s broader effort to strengthen public finance management and ensure state assets deliver greater value to citizens through sustainable economic growth and improved public services.
