Tanzania's president told investors their money and operations are safe after meeting with a Commonwealth trade official at State House in Dar es Salaam. Samia Suluhu Hassan sat down with Lord Hugo Swire from the Commonwealth Trade and Investment Council to talk about getting more business flowing into the country and creating jobs for locals.
Hassan pointed out that Tanzania has been playing nice with investors for over 60 years and keeps tweaking things to make doing business easier. She acknowledged some internal drama that went down in late October, but said the government has everything under control. The country is apparently working on constitutional reforms to make institutions run better and help the business sector.
Swire basically said his organization wants to keep working with Tanzania as their go-to for bringing in Commonwealth investors, and both sides agreed that creating actual opportunities for regular Tanzanians through employment is what really matters.
