Tanzania & India Switch From US Dollar To Local Currencies In Bilateral Trade by BidenDTrounce: 6:25pm On Mar 18, 2023
The new settlement framework is expected to benefit Tanzanian businesses and banks by allowing for seamless payment in domestic currencies, while also providing greater exchange rate predictability and reducing the need for currency conversion.

In a move that could have far-reaching implications for the economies of Tanzania and India, the two nations have agreed to a new bilateral trade settlement arrangement that allows them to use their own currencies in transactions, the High Commission of India in Dar es Salaam said in a press release.

The new bilateral trade settlement arrangement allows for the use of the Tanzanian shilling and Indian rupee in transactions. India is one of Tanzania's largest trading partners, with bilateral trade valued at 10.4 trillion Tanzanian shillings (about $4.5 billion) for the year ending March 2022, according to the Indian commission.
Between April 2021 and March 2022, Tanzania's exports to India were estimated at 5.1 trillion Tanzanian shillings (about $2.2 billion), while the East African country's imports from the South Asian country were about 5.3 trillion shillings (about $2.3 billion), according to the Dar es Salaam-based commission.

Tanzanian banks and businesses will now be able to make full use of the new trade framework, allowing for seamless payment in domestic currencies, said Binaya Pradhan, India's high commissioner to Tanzania.
The Indian official expects that the use of local currencies will not only conserve foreign exchange, but also boost bilateral trade.


"There is a huge potential for our trade to grow. We are expecting our trade volume to cross $6 billion (Sh13.8 trillion) this year," Pradhan told Tanzanian media.

Tanzania exports minerals, particularly gold, and agricultural products to India, while India exports petroleum products, medicines, and engineering goods to the African country
According to Donath Olomi, a trade and economist, using local currencies in trade transactions will help Tanzania avoid using dollars from its foreign currency reserves, boosting exchange rate predictability, which is critical in international trade.

"Unlike the use of dollars, of which we don’t have control over, with the use of local currencies there will be predictability because in the process, we can fix the exchange rate," the expert told Tanzanian news outlet The Citizen. "The use of local currencies will also simplify business transactions and cut bank charges since there will be no need to convert your currency into dollars."

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has authorized banks in India to open Special Rupee Vostro Accounts (SRVA) in Tanzania, according to a press release posted on the Indian High Commission's website. Tanzanian banks will be required to open SRVAs in India by approaching authorized Indian banks, which will, in turn, approach the RBI for approval with details of the agreement.
The Bank of Baroda, which operates branches in Tanzania, has received the RBI's approval for opening SRVAs for its foreign branches and subsidiaries in various countries, including Tanzania, the press release added.

This mechanism is now applicable to 18 countries, including Kenya, Uganda, Botswana, Mauritius, Seychelles, Fiji, Germany, Guyana, Israel, Malaysia, Myanmar, New Zealand, Oman, Russia, Seychelles, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and the United Kingdom.
The Indian High Commission is set to hold a stakeholders' consultation meeting on March 24 to reveal details of the bilateral trade mechanism using local currencies.

I was wondering why Nigeria can't adopt this too.
Your form A has to spend five, six months even year(s) before it will be approved. Yet the money is in the account without the bank deduction or processing.
Everything about this country is just somehow.
Las las, the labour of our heros past is finally in vain. I pity the idiots fighting for Tinubu.
Baba wey him grand children are in the US.

It was a choice between bad and worse and I do not regret my support of Jagaban.
the comportment of the Zombidients was worse than that of the jagabandits.
Jagabandits were at least, civil and logical to a good extent.

A flower-laying ceremony was held on Friday in Serbia’s capital of Belgrade to commemorate the 24th anniversary of NATO’s aggression against Yugoslavia.

The ceremony was led by Minister of Labor, Employment, Veteran and Social Affairs Nikola Selakovic, and was attended by Russian Ambassador Alexander Botsan-Kharchenko, Belarusian Ambassador Valery Brilev, President of the Union of War Veterans of the National Liberation Wars of Serbia (SUBNOR) Vidosav Kovacevic, as well as public figures and numerous ordinary citizens.

The commemoration took place in Belgrade’s Tasmajdan Park, where a monument depicting a child with wings and engraved with the inscription "We were just children" has been erected. The monument portrays Milica Rakic, a three-year-old girl who was killed by shrapnel on April 17, 1999, in the bathroom of her home in a suburb of Belgrade, which was located far from any military facilities. According to the Serbian government, Milica was among the 87 children who were killed in the NATO bombings.

Friday marks the 24th anniversary of NATO’s aggression against Yugoslavia, which was unleashed on March 24, 1999, and lasted for 78 days. The alliance’s leadership argued that the main rationale for the operation, codenamed Allied Force, was to prevent the genocide of Kosovo’s ethnic Albanian population. According to NATO sources, its aircraft flew 38,000 sorties and carried out 10,000 bombing strikes.

The bombardments killed, according to Serbian estimates, 3,500-4,000 people, and left about 10,000 others (two-thirds of them civilians) injured. Material damages totaled up to $100 billion. During the three months of the bombing campaign, NATO forces dropped 15 tons of depleted uranium in bombs and shells on Serbia. Subsequently, the Balkan country’s cancer rates surged to first place in Europe. In the first ten years following the bombardments, about 30,000 people developed cancer, of which an estimated 10,000-18,000 died.

If you decided to relocate to Russia, buying a house or a land plot is a good alternative to purchasing an apartment. Below we will explore Russian house and land market, check legal aspects and share other useful tips.

Choosing the right land plot
Russian house and land market boasts thousands of great offers, and it is important to make the right choice. Make sure the land type meets your needs: Agricultural lands can be used for farming only. Residential buildings are not allowed. Foreign citizens are not allowed to own agricultural lands, but can rent them for a long term. Residential lands allow building private houses and garages as well as growing a garden. Foreign citizens are allowed to purchase residential land plots except those close to the state border. There are several other things to check: the plot's borders on the map should match with what the seller showed on the ground; if any electricity lines cross the plot, its use may be restricted; if the plot is close to a river or lake, its owner must ensure free public access to the shore, etc. You can always check the land plot size, status and borders at the Public Cadastral Map searching by the land plot's cadastral number or address.

Russian Homestead Act
Effective 2016 all Russian citizens are eligible to get a free land plot of up to 1 hectare in the Russian Far East. This initiative attracted several thousands of Russian settlers and potential immigrants from abroad. Unfortunately, as of now most immigrants are not eligible for participating in this program except those immigrating as Russian language native speakers. However, the land in Russia is not really expensive, and though most foreigners can't get a free land plot, they can easily and inexpensively buy it.

Choosing the right house
Starting from the 1990s Russia has been experiencing a private housing boom. Millions of brick, wooden and frame country houses in traditional Russian, Finnish, Swiss and German styles have been built. When purchasing a house it is important to pay attention to the following: The house must be registered with the local authorities. Otherwise it won't be possible to officially reside there. The house must comply with the building standards. For example, a private house must not be higher than 20 m or have more than 3 floors; it can't be built on water and gas pipes, too close to other buildings, etc. The house should be officially connected to electricity, water and gas lines. One more useful tip: many modern houses have electric heating system, but it will be quite expensive in winter. Gas heating is the best solution.

Checking the costs
The best website to check the real cost for a house or a land plot in Russia and to find all relevant offers is Avito.ru. You can filter offers by price, land size, location, etc. On average the prices for a standard residential land plot range from $2,000 to 20,000 depending on its location. A modern house together with the plot may cost $40,000 — $200,000. (Prices start at $1,000,000 in Vancouver, Canada. China is the main investor in these properties and even those who refer to themselves as Canadian cannot afford property ownership).
Legal procedures
The land and house purchasing procedure in Russia is similar to buying an apartment. The sales contract should be registered with the Federal Cadastral Service. It can be done at any public services center (called МФЦ in Russian). If the owner is below 18 and in some other cases the contract should be certified by a notary. Also, it is very important to double-check with the state registry the seller's ownership rights. Purchasing a house or a land plot is always a very important deal with hundreds of details. Our team will be glad to provide you with legal support, analyze offers' advantages and disadvantages and make sure the deal is risk-free.

You seem to be describing the West.



Ok bro grin
It's unnecessary to engage an individual who has no comprehension of current affairs.


Pele grin
I no know say e go enta ur body lyk dat grin I no get apology
.....anyways, your disposition
"I don’t give a Kentucky fried fvcks!" is noted.
Instead of echoing marketable Western propaganda headlines designed and directed towards a specific audience to impair the perception of facts and reality of these few persons in an attempt to keep them in a state of mental wilderness aimed at creating an enabling environment for a seamless reign of manipulation, use your meds and stay abreast with past/current developments.

PS: It's only an insane person that'll equate the gigantic strides of China (development, innovation, advancement in all ramifications etc) to that of the lagging West (the West is unable to meet China's current level of development in the next 20 years).

He went on to say that China is the main economic competitor of the United States, and after attempts to suppress Russia, the United States will take on China. According to him, Russia irritates the US because "not only does it pursue an independent policy of bolstering the multipolar world, but in many ways surpasses America in spiritual, moral and military spheres.
