Prime Minister of the United Republic of Tanzania, Hon. Kassim Majaliwa, has commended the Bank of Tanzania for its robust supervision of the country's financial sector and its efforts in educating the public about financial services.

The Prime Minister expressed these commendations while visiting the pavilion of the Bank of Tanzania (BoT) at the ongoing National Financial Services Week celebrations at the Sheikh Amri Abeid grounds in Arusha. He was welcomed by the Deputy Governor responsible for Financial Stability and Deepening, Ms. Sauda Kassim Msemo.
