Highlights: The mortgage market in Tanzania registered a marginal decline of 2.8 percent in the value of mortgage loans during the second quarter of 2018, compared to an decline of 1 percent recorded in the first quarter of 2018. The number of mortgage lenders remained the same as the first quarter i.e. 31 lenders. Outstanding mortgage debt as at 30 June 2018 stood at TZS 331.49 billion1 equivalent to US$ 145 million compared to TZS 340.92 billion as at 31 March 2018. Average mortgage debt size was TZS 81.62 million, which is equivalent to around US$ 35,704 (TZS 81 million as at 31 March 2018).

Mortgage debt advanced by top 5 lenders accounts for 59 percent of the total outstanding mortgage debt. Typical interest rates offered by mortgage lenders ranged between 15 -19 percent. The current real estate development projects that are under way, as well as those that are being developed, have created various opportunities for interested local and foreign investors. The Tanzanian housing sector’s fast-growing demand is mainly driven by the strong and sustained economic growth with GDP growth averaging 6-7 percent over the past decade (7 percent in year 2016), the fast-growing Tanzanian population which is estimated to be 55 million and is expected to more than double by 2050 and efforts by the Government in partnership with global non-profit institutions and foreign governments to meet the growing demand of affordable housing.

The establishment of CMSA followed comprehensive financial sector reforms in the early 1990s aimed at developing among others capital markets in Tanzania. The development of capital markets enable provision of appropriate mechanism for mobilizing long term savings and ensuring efficient allocation of resources to productive sectors and in that way stimulate economic growth. The capital market in Tanzania is governed by the Capital Markets and Securities Act, Chapter 79 R.E. 2002 (CMS Act). The CMS Act is supplemented by 19 Regulations and Guidelines governing various aspects of the capital markets. Given that the capital markets industry is dynamic in nature, regular review, among other things, of the legal framework had been undertaken in order to keep pace with developments in the industry. In the financial year 2017/2018, the CMSA continued with the review of the Capital Markets Act with a view to developing proposals for a new Act that addresses identified challenges. Furthermore, following the enactment of the Commodity Exchanges Act 2015, the CMSA is also mandated to supervise, develop and regulate the commodity exchanges sector in Tanzania.
