This book contains a comprehensive analysis of the entire banking system in Tanzania and how the same is regulated and supervised by the Bank of Tanzania (BOT) under the 2006 system of banking laws. It examines thoroughly the institutional and regulatory frameworks; a little bit of history of how this system came about. How the BOT with other regulators in the financial services sector (i.e. the Capital Markets and Securities Authority, Insurance Regulatory Authority, Dar es salaam Stock Exchange, the Business Registration and Licensing Agency, Financial Intelligence Unit, Communications Regulatory Authority, Competition Commission, etc.) have generated rules, principles and practices that govern banking institutions and other financial service providers. It also examines how this regulatory system is so much influenced by international banking regulatory principles and standards – e.g. by the Basel Committee, East African Community (EAC) integration programmes, other international financial institutions (e.g. IMF and World Bank), Financial Action Task Force (FATF), International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and so on.
