DODOMA, TANZANIA – Tanzania’s gold export earnings climbed 37.4% to $4.7bn in 2025, lifted by record global prices and higher production, the central bank said.

The surge underscores gold’s growing dominance in one of Africa’s leading bullion-producing economies, where mining contributes more than 10% of gross domestic product and about 15% of tax revenues.
