Produktbeschreibung
Tanzania has been pursuing an active exchange rate policy basically to maintain a viable external account position, and competitiveness of its products in the world market. The estimated results demonstrate that exchange rate has a significant positive and negative impact on trade balance in the short-run.

Therefore, there is a need for government to implement the policy that focuses on the production of imported-substituted goods.
