Tanzania: Blueprint 2007
Economic growth is expected to accelerate to 7.3% in 2007 from 5.9% in 2006, as the country emerges from the retarding effects of the drought that caused a severe energy shortage and underproduction in the agriculture sector.

Mozambique: Blueprint 2007
After declining for four consecutive months to this year’s low of 10.6% y/y in August, overall inflation accelerated in September to 12.7% y/y. The increase in overall inflation in September was largely due to rising food inflationary pressures.
