Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange Profit Rises 164% in Nine Months

What changed

Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange PLC reported profit of TZS 11.48 billion, about USD 4.35 million, for the first nine months of 2026. Profit rose 164%, while total income nearly doubled to TZS 24.41 billion. Transaction-fee income climbed 180.8% as equity trading increased.

Why it matters

The exchange earned far more because more equity trading generated more fees. That makes the result a useful snapshot of stronger activity in Tanzania’s equity market, even though the figures do not show how much trading increased or what caused it.

The key question is whether this is a lasting change in market activity or a strong period that will fade. Future results will show whether transaction fees continue to drive the exchange’s earnings at this pace.
