ABSTRACT
This study investigated the influence of loans facilities provided by commercial banks
towards borrowing sectors on the economic growth of Tanzania using the data for the
period 2003-2018.Time series data on commercial banks loans to agriculture,
construction, manufacturing, tourism, transport and private sectors was used to
capture sectoral distribution of commercial banks loans facilities to different sectors of
the economy, while Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was used to capture economic
growth. The model was developed, and multiple linear regression analysis was
performed to investigate the relationship between variables. Diagnostic test was carried
out to make the model fit and free from spuriousness and make the results viable. The
results reveal that the model was significant and therefore can be used to make
prediction. Also was revealed that the loans facilities provided to agriculture, transport
and private sectors turned out to have a negative relationship towards economic growth
even though turned to be significant at 5% level of significant. On the other hand, loans
facilities to construction sector, manufacturing and tourism sector showed a positive
relationship with economic growth although with low percentage of positive increase in
gross domestic product. Based on the result.it was recommended that, commercial
banks should increase their loan to construction, tourism, and private sector to boost our
country’s gross domestic product.

CHAPTER I
1.1Introduction
Taking into consideration the importance of bank loans facilities in economic growth,
governments of many developing countries have been applying for loans from both
International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB) for the purposes of
economic growth. John (2013).
Therefore, as the banking sector lives up to its expectation of mobilizing and channeling
loans facilities to productive sectors of the economy it can provide an immense deal of
services that can stimulate economic growth. That is, if loans facilities are properly
mobilised and channeled to both sectors it will enhance growth of the economy through
increase in capital investment, foreign exchange, job creation, food production,
improvement in infrastructures, income generation and as well as improvement in the
living standard of the people.
Despite series of monetary policies and financial sector reforms aimed at strengthening
the banks’ ability to effective and efficient services delivery towards the real sector so
that the Tanzania economy can become more vibrant and more dynamic, problems such
as insufficiency in allocating funds to the real sector, lack of long term funding to sectors
of economy, high concentrations of loans facilities to few sectors still lingers on. These
1
problems associated with commercial banks have made it difficult in one way or another
for them to make its expected contribution to the economy.
A survey of literature on this topic in Tanzania revealed that there is shortage of literature on the
assessment of sectoral distribution of commercial banks loans on the economic growth in
Tanzania. It is against this backdrops that this study intends to fill this gap and contribute to
existing body of knowledge and updating the data to reflect the effects of commercial banks’
lending to all sectors under the study.
Following the Arusha declaration and nationalization of all commercial banks between
1970’s and 1980’s the banking sector became dominated by public-owned banks:
Tanzania Investment Bank, Tanzania Housing bank and Tanzania Postal bank. The
plans which were initially believed to be hindered by shortage of funds. Profits that were
Those banks now would be able to channel funds to public programs aimed at
investment in private properties. Some key sectors of the economy such as agriculture,
of which the government thought had not been served adequately, were given a priority.
the Bank of Tanzania introduced The financial Institutions Act with new guidelines to
improve the management structure and financial growth. With these guidelines the
Central Bank initiated the licensing of banks and formed a prudential framework for
2
assets management, accrual of interest and provision for losses. These initiatives took
place to stop farther mismanagement in financial sector and to sustain the country’s
economic growth. Following privatization and liberalization Act in the 1990’s the financial
sector has been advanced with emphasis on enhancing quality and efficiency credit
allocation. The Act triggered competition as some new players have entered the financial
sector, particularly new commercial banks entered the market such as, Commercial
Exim bank, Akiba Commercial Bank, Equity bank, Bank of Baroda, just a few to mention. According to
Bank of Tanzania, The Tanzania financial sector for the past 10 years has grown rapidly. For the
quarter ended September 2018 the country’s commercial banks had total assets of TZS 32.
6trilion.This amount has been said to be contributed by the entrance of new commercial banks,
retention of profits and additional capital injection. On the other hand, in 2018 commercial banks
recorded TZS 18.237 billion of the loans amounts advanced to Private sector while Deposits
amounting to TZS 22.084billion. (BOT 2019).
It is noteworthy that, there is not enough empirical literature on this study in Tanzania.
Notably most provide conclusion on the long-run relationship between all the indicators
of financial development and economic growth. Constantine et al (2013). Other studies
document positive relationship between general indicators of financial development such
as broad money supply, banks credit to private sector and total deposits and overall real
GDP, Christine (2013). Thus it is due to this insufficiency this study intends to add more
knowledge into existing literatures by assessing the influence of commercial banks loans
towards agriculture, construction, manufacturing, tourism, transport and private sectors
on the economic growth in Tanzania.

1.4 Objective of the study
This part covers the objective of the study of which the first part is general objective
concerning the topic and the second part is about specific objectives under the study.
The general objective of the study was to study the provision of loan at CRDB BANK PLC
and its relationship on the economic development of people in Tanzania.
I. To identify the impact of loan being provided by the people by CRDB BANK on Tanzania
II. To identify the relationship between loan and economic development of people in Tanzania
III. To identify the effect of loan to the people inTanzania.
This study is significant to the policy makers because it provides the general picture to

sectors in Tanzania contribute to the economic growth. For Commercial banks, this
study stands as benchmark to assess their credit facilities policy for the benefit of the
banking industry and the economy as well.
Also, through this study the researcher was able to have a greater understanding about
the performance of the economy and the role played by commercial banks in Tanzania
to the growth of the economy. Adding on that, this study is expected to be
documented and kept in the Library of the Institute Of Accountancy Arusha (IAA)
which will be used by other students for reference and other researchers who have the
interest in the same topic.
Challenges were experienced during the study such as, limited time available to conduct
the study due researcher being attached to other duties and limited financial resources
because the study was selffunded. Despite of those mentioned challenges, the
This study was carried out in Tanzania and assessed the influence of commercial banks
towards borrowing sectors under the study on the economic growth in Tanzania. Time
series data from WB and Central Bank of Tanzania spanning from 2003 to 2018 was

LITERATURE REVIEW
2.0 Introduction
Theoretical and empirical review of relevant literature to the study are covered under this
chapter, The concept of economic growth and the trends of sectoral distribution of
commercial banks loans with graphs are highlighted under this chapter, followed by
conceptual framework of the study, and critically analyses of past findings with gaps
Economic growth of a country is defined as the increase in the market value of the
goods and services produced by an economy over time. As economic growth occurs
businesses create more profits as a results stock prices rise which gives companies
capital to invest and create more jobs. As more jobs are created, incomes rise. Rise in
income triggers people’s purchasing power which drives higher economic growth. Paul
Romer, (2018).
production process and technical progress. Traditionally finance is among the linking
formation as a condition for sustainable economic growth. Thus, this section critically
7
discusses various theories related to lending and economic growth such as Wicksell
The theory was developed by a Swedish economist called Knut Wicksell in 1901. His
theory was based on comparison of the marginal product of capital with the cost of
economic growth.
Wicksell (1901) argued that if the interest rate of borrowing money were below the
natural rate of return on capital, entrepreneurs would borrow at the money rate to
purchase capital goods. This would lead to increased demand for all types of resources
and in turn their prices. Conversely, if the interest rate of borrowing money were above
the natural rate of return on capital, entrepreneurs would sell the capital goods and hold
money. This would lead to higher demand of money and in turn the cost of borrowing.
This theory is important to this study since it explains a relationship between the demand
for and cost of money (in this context loans facilities) and output in a country. It explains
how interest rate affects borrowing, which in turn affects the purchase of capital goods
and how production is affected. That is if the interest rates are higher than the natural
rate of return borrowing will reduce, therefore reducing economic growth as the result of
low investment. However, Wicksell theory centered on capital goods and interest of
borrowing money, whereas this study is more focused on various sectors of the
8
economy and loans facilities advanced by commercial banks towards those sectors
This theory was put forth by Cobb-Douglas in 1928 to explain the relationship between
production (and therefore economic growth), labour and capital. Based on the data of
population (labour), capital and production he established that output was a function of
level.
Y=F (K, L)
Where Y= Output (production)
K=Capital employed
L=Labour Supply
The capital component provided the way through which lending enters the equation.
A significant portion of credit borrowed from banks is used for capital accumulation. The
accumulated capital becomes one of the variables of economic growth in Cobb-Douglas
theory (Makali, 2014).

3.0 Introduction
Kothari (2013) pointed out that research methodology is the science of understanding
how research is conducted scientifically. Thus, is the systematic procedure to solve
research problem and answer research questions. This chapter presents the methods
and techniques that will be used to approach the research problem. It includes research
design, types and source of data and methods of data collection.
3.1Research design
The study employed a time series data spanning from 2003 to 2018. A multiple linear
regression analysis was applied to validate the model. Researcher collected data on
economic growth (gross domestic product), amount of loan provided by commercial
banks to agriculture, construction, manufacturing, tourism, transport, and private sectors.
Data were collected from the World Bank and Central Bank of Tanzania and it was given
in millions Tanzanian shillings. The rationale of using time series data in this study is
because of its easy availability and time saving.
Collected data were treated for stationarity that is at their first difference by using
Augmented Dickey Fuller (see attached appendices) and researcher used stationarity
data for predicting the model and to make analysis. Data collected assisted the
researcher to run a multiple regression analysis to examine the level of influence and
significance of the variables in the model.
18
3.3Model specification
Economic growth or the real GPD growth was identified as dependent variable in this
study while commercial banks loans to agriculture, construction, manufacturing, tourism,
transport, and private sectors were identified to be independent variables. Variables
were tested to examine the level of significance at 5% decision criteria. The developed
model was also tested for heteroskedasticity problem, serial Correlation and Shapiro
Wilk test was also applied to validate the model.
After the scrutiny of the variables, the researcher expressed these variables in the
following function to help assess the influence of loans facilities towards these borrowing
sectors under the study on the economic growth in Tanzania where four independent
variables were taken for this purpose and one dependent variable. Economic growth
(GDP) was expressed as a function of commercial banks loans to agriculture,
construction, manufacturing, tourism, transport, and private sectors respectively:
• f = Function of
• ε = Error term
19
The above function could then be expressed in the following equation
• F = Function of
The collected data in the equation were processed using Stata for the multiple regression output.
Economic growth was set as dependent variable while the independent variables were
commercial loans to agriculture, construction, manufacturing, tourism, transport, and
private sectors. The main objective was to determine whether loans towards agriculture
20
sector, construction sector, manufacturing sector, tourism sector and transport sector
and private sector is jointly significant to explain growth or not.
The finding and results from this study shows that three out of six independent variables are
significant to explain about the model and therefore a valid model.
21
CHAPTER IV
4.0 Introduction
The aim of this study was to assess the sectoral distribution of commercial banks loans
on the economic growth in Tanzania. where loans towards agriculture sector,
construction sector, manufacturing sector, tourism sector and transport sector and
private sector were treated as explanatory variable and economic growth in terms of
GDP was treated as dependent variable. Multiple regression analysis through STATA
software was conducted to investigate the relationship between these variables. The
finding and results from this study shows that the model is valid and therefore can be
used to make prediction.

4.1 Findings
This section covers analysis of findings from the regression table 4.0
The results value of R2 is 69.9% which is significant level to explain about our model.
This implies that variation in economic growth can be influenced by loans facilities to
agriculture, construction, manufacturing, tourism, transport, and private sectors. The
value of R2 represents six independent variables where the rest of 30.1% can be
explained by other variables which were not included in this study.
Therefore, with R2 of 69.9% it suggests that the model can be used for prediction. This
implies that we can have the policy developed based on this relationship which can aid
towards achieving a desired level of economic growth in Tanzania.
Below is the equation that states the relationship and prediction among the dependent and
independent variables.

The table above shows that Tanzania economic growth has been growing positively throughout
the period 2003-2018.
It is expected that as more funds are channelled to agricultural sector economic growth
in terms of GDP will also be attained. However, even though in this study CLA is
significant at 5% level with p-value of 0.030 the study reveals that there is a negative
relationship between commercial banks loans towards agricultural sector and economic
growth in Tanzania. This implies that when Cla increases by one percent will cause
0.21 percentage decrease in GDP.
The inverse relationship could be due to the fact that large percentage of agricultural
sector in Tanzania is dominated by small farmers who have low access to loans facilities
24
from commercial banks hence the amount of loans facilities advanced to this sector is
not productive enough to stimulate economic growth.

The table above shows that, Commercial banks’ lending to agriculture sector has not been
that stable with upwards and downwards movement of loans between 2003 to 2018.In2016
there was a sharp fall of loans towards agriculture sector but stale in the following year.
The theory suggests that when interest rate of acquiring capital is low more capital will
be available to facilitate production, thus in our model as more loans are injected into
construction projects it will lead to economic growth.it is revealed from regression table
4.0 the variable is insignificant since it has p value of 0.141 which is more than 5%level

However, our result is different from other literature related to this topic, Adejayan &
Sulaiman (2017) found that commercial banks loans to manufacturing sector had no
significant impact and were negative related to economic growth.

The table above shows that, Commercial banks’ lending to manufacturing sector with
some years of growth in terms of loans advanced to the sector and also a slight
decrease in those loans to some years and with the highest level in 2018.
Loans to Tourism sector from regression analysis results is statistically insignificant at 5% level of
significance with p-values of 0.236 which is more than 5% level of significance.
27
However, it shows that the loans channelled to tourism sector for over the period under
study covering from 2003 to 2018 had positive relationship with GDP because the
coefficient values of CLTRM is positive. This implies that a percentage increase in loans
to tourism sector will lead to increase in economic growth by
0.8473 percent.

Commercial banks’ lending to tourism sector as shown in the table above, indicates
fluctuations of loans issued to the sector across the years under the study. It shows the
trends was not steady for all the years under the study, with almost similarities between
2016 to 2018.
The theory suggests that when more funds is increase towards transport sector, the
economic growth will be attained and when the same is reduced the economic growth
28
also will be attained at a slow pace or may not be attained at all. The results from
regression table 4.0 reveals that commercial banks loans towards transport sector has
inverse relationship with economic growth even though it is statistically significant at 5%
level of significance with p value of 0.031 which is less than 5% level of significance.
The significance level of transport sector is in line with Adejayan & Sulaiman (2017),
findings when assessing the impact of sectoral distribution of commercial banks loans
and advances on economic growth in Nigeria. The results showed that commercial
banks loans and advances towards transport and communication sector has a significant
impact and was positively related to economic growth.

4.1.7 Commercial banks Loans to Private Sector (DClps)
The regression results shows that loans to private sector is statistically insignificant at 5% level of
significance with p-values of 0.102 which is more than 5% level of significance.
Despite the fact that, the loans directed towards private sector is expected to have a
positive relationship with economic growth, this is different with our findings in this study
since the amounts of commercial banks loans towards private sector under the study
period from 2003 to 2018, it has showed a negative relationship with economic growth.
However the most important thing about this variable is that it can still command results
about economic growth and it can still jointly make the model valid for prediction and
policy formulation.

4.2 Decision on the General Results Based on F-statistics and P-value
Hypothesis:
Decision criteria
Decision criteria on the above hypothesis is that reject the null hypothesis when P value is
greater than 5% level of significant and F statistic should be above 5% level of significant.
Results
The results from our table shows that F statistic is 3.45 and p value is 0.04.Given this
value of p value found to be less than 5% level of significant the researcher reject the
null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis that loans facilities to agriculture,
construction, manufacturing, tourism, transport and private sector can jointly influence
the economic growth of Tanzania.
31
4.4 Diagnostic checking
The researcher also looked at the model whether the residual is normal distributed or not.
The decision was based on the following hypothesis.
Decision Criteria
Decision criteria on the above hypothesis and results from Shapiro wilk Test for normal
data is that accept the null hypothesis when p value is more than 5% level of significant
and reject the null hypothesis when p value is less than 5%.
. swilk re
Variable Obs W V z
Prob>z
re 16 0.90107 2.004 1.381
0.08361
Based on the above hypothesis results from Shapiro Wilk test for normal data shows
that the probability is 8.361% which is more than 5% and therefore we cannot reject the
null hypothesis and the researcher conclude that the residual are normally distributed.
4.4.2 Heteroskedasticity
The researcher also looked at the model whether the model has heteroskedasticity
problem or not under the following hypothesis.
32
H1: Residual are not homoscedastic
Decision criteria
Decision criteria on the above hypothesis and results from Breusch Pagan test for
heteroskedasticity is that accept the null hypothesis when p value is more than 5% and
reject the null hypothesis when p value is less than 5% significant level.
chi2(1) = 1.89
Prob > chi2 = 0.1687
Based on the Breusch Pagan Test for heteroskedasticity it shows that the probability
value is 16.87% which is more than 5% significant level and therefore we accept the null
hypothesis that residual are homoscedastic.
The researcher also tested for serial correlation to determine whether there is serial correlation
among the independent variables or not. The Durbin Watson test was used to make investigation
under the following hypothesis
Decision criteria
Decision criteria on the above hypothesis the results from Durbin Watson test is that
accept the null hypothesis when p value is more than 5% and reject the null hypothesis
when p value is less than 5% significant level.

Based on the findings results shows that the probability value is 39.66% more than 5%
significant level and therefore we cannot reject the null hypothesis and we conclude that there is
no serial correlation.
4.2 Discussion
Some empirical literatures highlighted in this study have some similar and different
results with ones obtained by this study. And this provides the rooms for discussion
based on the findings of other researchers in comparison to our study results:
The significance of transport sector in this study was found to be similar with the findings
of Adejayan & Sulaiman (2017), when assessed the impact of sectoral distribution of
commercial banks loans and advances on economic growth in Nigeria. The results
showed that commercial banks loans and advances towards transport and
communication sector has a significant impact and was positively related to economic
growth. However, in this study, the sector shows the negative relationship with economic
growth in Tanzania, meaning that it might be that the commercial banks issued to
transport sector are not in favour to stimulate economic growth like other sectors.
Aniekan et al (2018), investigated the banking sector credit and economic growth in Nigeria,
with their results suggesting that private sector credit has a positive impact on economic
growth. Contrary with our study of which loans facilities towards economic sector had a
negative relationship with economic growth even though and insignificant as well. The study
reveals that in Nigeria the credit advanced to private sector had a minimal interest rate as
revealed by the researcher to stimulate economic growth. Therefore, this study recommends
the more financial markets development that favours more credit to private sector with
minimal interest rate to stimulate economic growth.
34
policies should be reviewed so that they can be more productive and meet the expected
goal of attaining economic growth in the country.
In addition to that Jason (2014) investigated the effects of commercial banks loans on
the economic growth of Kenya. The research was time series correlation study and the
results showed that economic growth in Kenya is not driven by changes in lending.
Basing on the results which shows that our model is valid to make prediction and policy
recommendations, it is clear that as the findings in Kenya suggest that economic growth
is not driven by banks’ lending, the model it shows that commercial banks’ lending
towards different sectors of the economy under the study can jointly influence economic
growth whether positive or negative.
Apart from the findings of the results and the related findings from other literatures
reviewed under this study, the major aim of this study was to investigate whether the
loans from commercial banks towards economic sectors under this study has influence
on economic growth in Tanzania or not. With the guidance of the study objectives and
research hypothesis ,the researcher concludes that, even though the influence level of
commercial banks loans towards the sectors on economic growth in Tanzania is not
uniform among all the sectors, they can still jointly influence economic growth in
Tanzania.
35
CHAPTER V
5.1 Conclusion
The aim of this study was to assess the influence of sectoral distribution of commercial
banks loans on economic growth in Tanzania for the period covering 2003 to 2018.We
estimated our model using time series data for the period 2000-2018. The results show
that commercial banks loans to agriculture, manufacturing and transport were only
significant at 5% level of significant on the other hand commercial banks loans to
construction, tourism and private sectors were both insignificant at 5% level of
significant. Also, the results value of R 2 is 69.92% which is significant level to explain
about proposed model and therefore we conclude that our model can be used to make
prediction.
5.2 Recommendations
Based on empirical findings, R2 results and the predicted multiple regression model, the
study recommends the following.
• Government and monetary authorities should ensure that better and stronger credit
culture should be promoted and sustained.
• There should be strong and comprehensive legal framework that will continue to aid
in monitoring the performance of credit to various sectors, and recovery of debts
owed to commercial banks.
• Banks should share among themselves information on bad debt and every well
performing sector should be given a priority in terms of granting of loans and
advances.
36
encourage the demand and supply of commercial banks loans and advances to the
real sectors of the economy
