Market analysts however paint a rosy picture for Tanzania’s equity market this year.
According to the Zan Securities Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Raphael Masumbuko, “the domestic recovery of Tanzania’s economy and GDP growth will subsequently make companies relatively more profitable,”
He added, “equity prices are likely to increase in Q2 (2023) as companies begin to disclose their audited financials for the year ending 2022. We expecta grind-it-out market environment in which valuations could remain flat or slightly decline but with profit growth to supersede this and Equity outperformance to continue,”
