Tanzania is well placed to receive a
significant increase in aid inflows in coming years. Despite
the potential for the additional aid inflows to raise income
levels in the country, increasing them may bring about
structural changes in the economy that may be unwelcome. One
such change is an appreciation of the real exchange rate
that leads to a contraction of traditional export sectors
and a loss of export competitiveness. This paper employs a
reduced-form equilibrium real exchange rate approach to
explain movements in Tanzania's real effective exchange
in recent decades. Particular attention is paid to the
relationship between aid inflows and the real effective
exchange rate. The authors find that the long-run behavior
of the real effective exchange rate is influenced by terms
of trade movements, the government's trade
liberalization efforts, and aid inflows. Positive
terms-of-trade movements are associated with an
appreciation, periods of improving trade liberalization are
associated with a depreciation, and increases in aid inflows
are associated with a depreciation in the real effective
exchange rate. Although the last result is non-standard, it
is not empirically unique and does have theoretical
underpinnings. A detailed analysis of this relationship over
the last decade shows that the Bank of Tanzania's
response to aid inflows is likely the main reason for the finding. |
