This paper reviews Tanzania's growth performance and prospects and assesses the impact of growth on poverty. It finds that growth has been increasingly driven by higher factor productivity and that a continuation of recent policies should allow Tanzania to grow above 5 percent a year over the medium term. Furthermore, it finds that growth since 1995 has resulted in a significant decline of poverty and that prospects are favorable for Tanzania to attain its objectives for reducing income poverty by 2015 UR - http://elibrary.imf.org/view/IMF001/06681-9781451860542/06681-9781451860542/06681-9781451860542.xml UR - http://www.imfbookstore.org/IMFORG/9781451860542 ER -
