Access to finance remains one of the most significant barriers to business growth in Tanzania. For decades, banks have relied heavily on traditional collateral-based lending models, where access to credit is heavily dependent on the availability of non-movable assets such as land, buildings, and fixed property.

While this approach has historically provided lenders with a level of comfort and security against default risk, it has also unintentionally created structural barriers that limit access to finance for a large segment of businesses with strong growth potential.

The future of banking cannot rely solely on asset-backed lending; it must evolve toward financing models that recognize business performance, cash generation capacity, and value chain participation as key indicators of creditworthiness.

In today’s The Guardian newspaper 📰 (Banker’s Section), I explore why Tanzania’s banking sector must rethink how it lends and why transitioning toward more inclusive financing models, particularly cashflow-based lending, is becoming increasingly important for the country’s future economic development.

Tanzania 🇹🇿 vs Senegal 🇸🇳 in the U17 final is a reminder that talent exists in Tanzania. The real difference is what happens after tournaments like these.

In a few years, many of Senegal’s top U17 players could be competing in Europe’s elite leagues, supported by strong talent development and export systems.

Unfortunately, I can't say the same for Tanzania’s top U17 players. The challenge for Tanzania is ensuring that our young stars also have clear pathways to the highest levels of world football.

Africa’s economic landscape is evolving. 🌍📈

According to IMF projections for May 2026, South Africa leads as Africa’s largest economy at $479.96B GDP, followed by Egypt and Nigeria. East Africa continues to make its mark with Kenya ranked 7th, while resource-rich economies like DR Congo and Angola maintain strong positions.
What stands out is the diversity of growth drivers across the continent — from industrialization and manufacturing to natural resources, services, trade, and digital transformation.

For the banking sector, this shift means greater opportunities in trade finance, infrastructure financing, SME growth, cross-border transactions, and investment banking as African economies continue to expand.

The next question is: Which economy will be the next major growth story in Africa?
