TIB Development Bank, formerly known as Tanzania Investment Bank (TIB),
is a government-owned development bank in Tanzania. The bank is the
first development finance institution established by the Government of
Tanzania. The activities of TIB are supervised by the Bank of Tanzania,
the central bank and national banking regulator.
TIB is registered as a Registered Financial Institution.
The bank was established by Act of Parliament in 1970. At that time, the
main objective of TIB was to provide “medium and long-term loans to
investors in commercial agriculture, manufacturing, processing,
construction, transport, tourism and mining sectors”.
However, due to economic hardships, including a war with Idi Amin of
neighboring Uganda and foreign currency exchange fluctuations within the
Tanzanian economy, the bank became unable to service its financial
obligations. To mitigate financial losses, TIB resorted to making
short-term loans and to function like a commercial bank. The period
between 1980 until 2003 was particularly hard on the bank.
