After rapid progress, the underlying growth drivers shifted in the early 2010s, with public infrastructure investment increasingly offsetting declining productivity contributions. The memorandum examines structural transformation through firms and labor dynamics, assesses changes in international trade, and outlines priorities to rebalance development by strengthening business climate reforms, inclusion, agricultural productivity, tourism recovery, and regional integration.","Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized Pub lic Disclosure Authorized  \nPRIVATIZING GROWTH  \nA Country Economic Memorandum for the United Republic of Tanzania  \nTable of Contents  \nAcknowledgements iii  \nExecutive Summary v  \n1 A Changing Growth Model 2  \n1.1 Shifting Drivers of Growth ......................... 5  \n1.2 Limitations of the Current Growth Model............. 16  \n1.3 The Imperative of Faster, Better, and More Inclusive Growth ........................................ 21  \n2 Deep Dive: Firms and Labor in Structural  \nTransformation 24  \n2.1 Sectoral Dynamics of Productivity Growth ............ 24  \n2.2 Firm Dynamics in Tanzania ........................ 28  \n2.3 The Drivers of Labor Transition across Sectors.......... 35  \nA COUNTRY ECONOMIC MEMORANDUM FOR THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA i  \nTable of Contents  \n3 Deep Dive: International Trade................... 46  \n3.1 The Engine of Growth Losing Steam ................. 46  \n3.2 The Drivers of Tanzania’s Export Dynamics ............ 50  \n3.3 Priming the Engine: Policy Priorities ..................57  \n4 Towards a Rebalanced Development Strategy in Tanzania .................................. 60  \n4.1 Accelerating Business Climate Reforms ............... 60  \n4.2 Boosting Inclusion and Resilience ................... 69  \n4.3 Improving Productivity and Resilience in Agriculture .... 84  \n4.4 Building Back Better Tanzania’s Tourism .............. 93  \n4.5 Leveraging Regional Integration Agenda .............. 96  \nSpotlight: Revolutionizing Public Policy in Agriculture 101  \nAppendices...................................... 105  \nA.
