| dc.description.abstract | “As I inaugurated this Parliament in 2015, I remember promising that my government would continue the efforts of previous administrations to boost the economy as well as to tackle the problems of poverty and unemployment. So, over the past five years, we have worked hard to keep that promise, especially by promoting our main sectors of the economy and production, including manufacturing, agriculture, trade, mining as well as tourism. In terms of manufacturing, we have established 8,477 new industries, of which 201 are large, 460 medium, 3,406 small, and 4,410 minor industries. This has increased the number of industries in the country from 52,633 in 2015 to 61,110 in 2020. The newly established industries have helped make our country self-sufficient in some products, including cement, steel and iron sheets. In addition, the new industries have created 482,601 jobs.”
His Excellency President Dr John Pombe Joseph Magufuli’s given speech during the dissolution of the 11th Parliament on 16th June 2020 in Dodoma, Tanzania | |
