Overview
Tanzania's listed companies stood at 22 in 2025, a rise of +0 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 22 by 2025. Tanzania ranked 63rd globally.
Tanzania’s listed‑company count rose from a low of 3.00 in 1999 to an all‑time peak of 22.00 in 2025, placing the country 63rd globally and ranking it just above Botswana’s 21.60 and below Zambia’s 20.00 in the same peer group. The ten‑year coverage shows a steady expansion of the domestic equity market, driven by gradual regulatory reforms and modest foreign‑direct investment inflows that have encouraged new listings. Compared with Czechia’s 27.20 and Luxembourg’s 27.70, Tanzania’s market remains smaller, reflecting a less diversified industrial base and lower per‑capita income, yet the upward trajectory mirrors broader sub‑Saharan trends toward deeper capital markets. The increase from 3.00 to 22.00 illustrates a more than seven‑fold growth, suggesting improving corporate governance and investor confidence. Continued liberalisation of listing requirements and enhanced market infrastructure could sustain this momentum, potentially moving Tanzania into the top‑fifty tier of listed‑company counts in the coming decade.
