Comments for Tanzania 's Banking Sector Ready for a Nudge from Kenya? at http://www.ratio-magazine.com , comment 0 to 1 out of 1 comments http://www.ratio-magazine.com Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:26:06 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.ratio-magazine.com/20090625735/Tanzania/Tanzania-s-Banking-Sector-Ready-for-a-Nudge-from-Kenya.html#pc_24 Excellent article which I found balanced and fair, until it got subtly alarmist in the penultimate sentence: Tanzania 's often outright protectionism can only continue to hold the opportunities back, sometimes to the extent of questioning its commitment to regional integration.' I struggle to find evidence of Tanzania's active and deliberate reversal of the commitments made towards regional integration. Non-tariff trade barriers, while deplorable, are not unique to Tanzania - ask those who try to sell Tanzania's Safari beer in Kenyan bars. Is the spat between Tanzania and 'everyone else' in East Africa over speed or direction of regional integration? Is Tanzania deliberately reversing or merely slowing the pace of regional integration? While the argument made for the latter does seem to have plenty of evidence to back it, more evidence is needed to make the case for the former (reversal). Anyone? - Aidan Eyakuze Fri, 17 Jul 2009 17:35:16 +0100
