A recent World Bank assessment summarizes that Tanzania has sustained relatively high economic growth over the last decade, averaging 6-7% a year. The country's overall population is about 55 million has made it a vital market in the East African region. The 2018/19 budget targets public investment to consume 45 percent of total spending, equivalent to 9.1 percent of GDP compared to 5.5 a year prior as the Government has prioritized efforts to improve public administration, planned scale-up in infrastructure projects  and manage public resources for improved socio-economic outcomes. For the last year, official data report that industrial output grew at 12.1 percent, up slightly from 10.7 percent output in previous period, primarily because mining, water, and construction activities expanded. In 2017/18, mining and quarrying grew by 17.5 percent, water by about 17 percent, and construction by 14 percent. Transport and storage activities, also, grew by 17 percent. Growth in mining was primarily driven by significantly higher coal and natural gas production. The macroeconomic environment is expected to be stable in the near future but with the boost of reforms not far from fruition.
