THIS EVENT HAS NOW PASSED

Keynote address by Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda

With President Kikwete entering his second term in office, international investors are keen to understand how the government’s plans will affect the climate for doing business. The country’s economy is still growing fast, yet it feels sluggish by comparison to its neighbours.

Will a new team in government be able to deliver the reforms needed to tackle the challenges of poor infrastructure, weak skills, corruption and red tape? Will their efforts attract more outside investment? How exactly is the new cabinet going about the tasks of improving regional integration and developing the country's mineral and agricultural potential? What are international firms reporting about problems they face in developing revenues and market share?

The Tanzania Summit will bring the new government together with business leaders to get answers to these tough questions, to identify the most compelling emerging investment opportunities and to analyse the risks facing those looking to grow their business in Tanzania during the next five years. The audience will enjoy the rare opportunity to quiz Tanzania’s leaders on their specific policy plans and to outline their expectations.
