Shareholders of the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange PLC have approved a total dividend of TZS 146.21 per share, reflecting strong financial performance and sustained growth of Tanzania’s capital market infrastructure.
The decision was made during the 11th Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on June 12, 2026, in Dar es Salaam.
The hybrid meeting brought together shareholders physically at Exchange Tower and virtually through the eAGM Mkutano platform, allowing wider participation and improved access to the proceedings.
At the centre of the meeting was the approval of both ordinary and special dividends. Shareholders approved an ordinary dividend of TZS 69.00 per share from the 2025 after-tax profits. In addition, a special dividend of TZS 77.21 per share was declared, bringing the total payout to TZS 146.21 per share.
The strong dividend approval signals continued confidence in the financial stability and performance of the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange PLC, as well as its ability to generate sustainable returns while supporting the development of Tanzania’s capital markets.
The approval of a special dividend is a notable highlight, often reflecting strong reserves or exceptional financial results that allow additional returns to shareholders beyond the normal payout.
Shareholders also approved the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, along with reports from the Board of Directors and external auditors.
These approvals confirm satisfaction with the Exchange’s financial transparency, accountability, and compliance with regulatory standards.
During the meeting, shareholders further discussed governance and strategic issues aimed at strengthening the Exchange’s long-term performance.
The discussions underscored the importance of maintaining strong corporate governance, financial discipline, and investor confidence.
As Tanzania’s only securities exchange, the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange PLC plays a key role in mobilising capital for economic development.
It connects investors with opportunities in listed equities, government securities, and corporate bonds, while promoting wider participation in financial markets.
Over the years, the Exchange has introduced digital trading systems, investor education programmes, and market development initiatives aimed at improving efficiency, transparency, and accessibility.
These reforms have helped expand public awareness and participation in capital markets across the country.
The approved dividend is expected to be welcomed by investors, especially as listed companies continue to focus on delivering value while maintaining sustainable growth.
Market observers note that the total payout of TZS 146.21 per share reflects strong financial management and reinforces the Exchange’s position as a stable and trusted institution in Tanzania’s financial sector.
The AGM resolutions reaffirm the Exchange’s commitment to good governance, shareholder value creation, and continued development of the country’s capital markets.
Key resolutions included approval of the ordinary dividend of TZS 69.00 per share, approval of the special dividend of TZS 77.21 per share, adoption of audited financial statements for 2025, approval of directors’ and auditors’ reports, and reaffirmation of commitment to sustainable capital market growth.
