The newly inaugurated branch of the People’s Bank of Zanzibar (PBZ) in Morogoro is set to play a pivotal role in strengthening ties between rice farmers in the Morogoro Region and Zanzibar.
This move, affirmed by Hamza Hassan Juma, the Policy, Coordination and House of Representatives state minister in the Zanzibar Second Vice President’s Office, highlights the significant presence of Zanzibari commercial farmers in Morogoro.
The launch event, officiated by Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa, marks a new chapter in enhancing agricultural productivity and economic collaboration between Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar. PBZ’s managing director, Arafat Haji, emphasized that this branch will serve as a vital link for farmers, eliminating the need to travel long distances to cities like Dodoma or Dar es Salaam for banking services.
A Boost for Agriculture and Commerce
Morogoro’s status as a major rice-producing region makes it a strategic location for PBZ’s expansion. The new branch is expected to streamline financial services for local farmers and traders, facilitating easier access to banking facilities. This initiative is part of a broader effort to integrate financial services with the agricultural sector, which is the backbone of Morogoro’s economy.
With the opening of this branch, Zanzibari farmers and other stakeholders will benefit from more convenient and efficient banking services. The enhanced connectivity is anticipated to foster better business relations and economic growth, leveraging Morogoro’s agricultural output.

Employment Opportunities and Economic Development
The establishment of the PBZ branch also brings employment opportunities to Morogoro. Recently, PBZ announced several job vacancies for positions such as Customer Service Officers, Credit Officers, and Bank Tellers in Morogoro and other regions. These roles are designed to enhance customer service, streamline banking operations, and support the local economy by providing jobs to qualified individuals in the region.
As the bank integrates itself into the community, it will contribute to the overall economic development of Morogoro by offering tailored banking solutions that meet the needs of the agricultural sector and other businesses.
Future Prospects
The new PBZ branch in Morogoro is more than just a financial institution; it represents a bridge between Zanzibar and Mainland Tanzania, fostering unity and shared prosperity. As PBZ continues to expand its services and reach, the collaboration between regions is set to strengthen, promoting sustainable economic growth and development across the nation.
