The Bank of Tanzania (BoT), National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), and Tanzania Investment and Special Economic Zones Authority (TISEZA) have initiated the 2026 Survey of Companies with Foreign Liabilities in Tanzania.This survey aims to collect 2025 foreign investment and financial data from selected companies operating in Tanzania between July and September 2026.

The exercise is designed to assess the contribution of foreign private investment to the domestic economy, update Tanzania’s Balance of Payments (BoP) and International Investment Position (IIP) statistics, and support economic policy formulation.Companies are required to submit audited 2025 financial statements or provisional estimates if audited accounts are not yet available.Participation is mandatory under specific legal provisions, with non-compliance potentially leading to breaches of statutory obligations.All collected data will be used exclusively for statistical purposes and published in aggregated form to ensure confidentiality.This follows previous surveys to monitor foreign investment liabilities, with extended deadlines for data submission in past exercises.
