Tanzania's government has introduced directives to protect local industries from cheap imports, aiming to build a $1 trillion economy. Prime Minister Dr. Mwigulu Nchemba announced measures including stopping tax exemptions on imported goods that can be produced locally and tightening border controls to combat smuggling.

These moves are expected to enhance investor confidence, promote industrial growth, and create employment opportunities, particularly as over two million graduates enter the job market annually. The government is also expanding natural gas infrastructure to reduce production costs by up to 40%.
