Taking a leaf straight from the BRICS playbook, Tanzania announced an official ban on the US dollar in local transactions. The Bank of Tanzania (BoT) has put a blanket ban on all foreign currencies in local transactions, and only the Tanzanian Shillings (TZS) is made legal tender. The ban comes after an influx of foreign currencies circulated the market for local transactions, leaving the TZS behind.

Tanzania is inspired by the BRICS agenda of de-dollarization and is striving to keep the US dollar in the back seat. Individuals, traders, business owners, and large corporations in the country are not allowed to use the US dollar for transactions. The ban includes both receiving and sending foreign currencies, making it a legal offense to initiate the payments. Every individual, bank, and business entity must use the Tanzanian Shillings and not foreign currencies.

“Under these Regulations, pricing and payment for all goods and services within the country must be in Tanzanian Shillings. Therefore, it is an offense to quote, advertise, or indicate prices in foreign currency, to compel, facilitate, or accept payment in foreign currency (US dollar), or to refuse payment made in Tanzanian Shillings,” read the statement mimicking the BRICS ideology.

The ban on the US dollar also includes foreigners who visit the country as tourists making Tanzanian Shillings mandatory. Only a few authorities are permitted to use foreign currencies and the regulation makes it clear that they need to specify the transactions. Those include government contributions to regional organizations, embassies, and transactions by international firms. What BRICS failed to do to the US dollar, Tanzania got its accomplished.

Developing countries are inspired by the BRICS agenda of using local currencies and forging ahead in banning the US dollar. The move will prove costly to the American economy if many countries join in on the de-dollarization bandwagon. The popularity of using local currencies for trade is growing and signals a major warning to the American economy.

All foreign currencies were banned for the Tanzanian shillings to thrive yet for some reason you have singled out USD and have somehow convinced yourself that this has something to do with brics?

Critical observation.

Emefiele is been persecuted today for daring to stand up to the system.

Emefiele is the first Governor of The Central Bank of Nigeria to enrich himself stupendously, Abacha is the only Nigerian President that stole money.

Na so them talk.
