Tanzania's market capitalization was 7.97% in 2025, ranked 68th globally. This represents a 14.1% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1999–2025.
Overview
Tanzania's market capitalization stood at 7.97% in 2025, a decline of +1.31% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 7.97% by 2025. Tanzania ranked 68th globally.
Tanzania’s market‑capitalisation ratio has risen markedly since the late 1990s, climbing from a trough of 1.35 in 1999 to an all‑time peak of 9.81 in 2020 before settling at 7.97 in 2025, which places the country 68th in the world. The expansion reflects sustained equity‑market reforms, increased foreign‑direct investment and the growth of locally listed firms, particularly in mining and telecommunications. Compared with peers of similar rank, Tanzania’s figure exceeds Kenya’s 6.47 and approaches Argentina’s 8.05, while remaining below Czechia’s 9.39, suggesting a competitive but still developing market depth. The ten‑year coverage shows a steady upward trajectory, with the 2020 high coinciding with a regional surge in capital‑market activity driven by low‑interest rates and heightened investor appetite for emerging‑market equities. Continued improvements in corporate governance, deeper secondary‑market liquidity and broader inclusion of small‑ and medium‑size enterprises could sustain the upward trend, potentially moving Tanzania into the top‑sixty bracket in the coming years.
