Dar es Salaam is the largest commercial centre in Tanzania
and has a population of 4 million. The other commercial centres are Arusha,
mainly for tourism, and Mwanza for mining. The Southern Highlands, Mbeya and
Iringa are suitable for commercial farming and manufacturing. Zanzibar is a
tourist centre. Since the 1990s, Tanzania has been emerging from its socialist past and adapting to the
globalized market system. The government has instituted economic reform, including
liberalization of agricultural marketing, lifting of foreign exchange controls, deregulation
of price controls, privatization of state-owned parastatals, and implementation of a new
investment code offering competitive incentives for foreign investment. These significant
economic reforms have been coupled with impressive macroeconomic stability, leading
to steady growth over the last ten years.
