HAVE A VIEW on THE TANZANIAN SHILLING's VALUE IN TERMS OF OTHER MAJOR CURRENCIES IN THE WORLD at http://fx-rate.net/TZS/  now thinking in terms of  flows of Tanzanian goods to the rest of the world (increase in exports) Tanzania is  at a good position because  when you have a relatively lower value of the domestic currency, then  trade wise this makes your goods cheap to foreigners hence more exports- a positive thing to your balance of payments (BOP), but again on the other side your imports become expensive which could endanger your BOP if the imported goods are a necessity to your production activities.

MONTHLY (SEPTEMBER) ECONOMIC REVIEW

1.0 Inflation Developments
Annual headline inflation rose further to 14.1 percent in August 2011 from 13.0 percent recorded in July 2011, due to rise in food prices (Chart 1.1). On the other hand, month-to-month headline inflation decreased to 1.4 percent in August 2011 from 1.5 percent recorded in the preceding month. Annual inflation for food and non-alcoholic beverages was 18.6 percent in August 2011, up from 14.8 percent recorded in the preceding month, with most of the increase coming from the prices of rice, bread, pastry cook products, maize grains, wheat flour, cassava flour, pork meat, chicken, fish, fresh cow milk, fruits, vegetables, potatoes, cassava fresh and sugar. Likewise, month-to-month food inflation rose to 2.4 percent in August 2011 from 1.7 percent in July 2011. Annual non-food inflation decreased to 10.2 percent in August 2011 from 10.8 percent in July 2011. This development was associated with the decline in prices of some items including clothing materials, kerosene, charcoal, diesel, petrol, household utensils and appliances, passenger transport, internet, and accommodation services. Similarly, month-to-month non-food inflation declined to 0.4 percent in August 2011 from 1.5 percent recorded in July 2011.
