Tanzania’s prohibition on US dollar transactions for domestic commerce took full effect in late March, mandating exclusive use of shillings for pricing and payments. The Bank of Tanzania reinforced these measures in May, barring businesses from rejecting local currency or accepting foreign alternatives.

This policy shift signals a broader de-dollarization trend across East African Community nations, with potential Ripple effects for regional trade dynamics. While the move strengthens monetary sovereignty, merchants face operational challenges adapting to the currency transition.
