Tanzanian Shilling to Chinese Yuan exchange rate history
What moves the Tanzanian Shilling rate
The Tanzanian shilling is on a managed float under the Bank of Tanzania. Gold, tourism, agricultural exports (cashews, coffee) and the import bill — including used vehicles from Japan — shape the rate.
About the Tanzanian Shilling
The Tanzanian Shilling (TZS, TSh) is the official currency of Tanzania, issued by the Bank of Tanzania and notionally subdivided into 100 cents — though the cent denomination is no longer in circulation. Tanzania operates a managed-float regime, and the Shilling has been comparatively stable against the USD over the 2020s relative to peers, partly because of consistent gold-export revenue and a current-account balance closer to neutral. M-Pesa, Mixx by Yas (ex Tigo Pesa) and Airtel Money dominate the in-country mobile-money landscape, and the Bank of Tanzania has been progressive in enabling cross-border M-Pesa Global transfers to Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and beyond. Tanzania scrapped the 2021 transfer levy on P2P sends from 1 October 2022 but kept a banded withdrawal levy on cash-out at a mobile-money agent, from TZS 10 up to a maximum of TZS 2,000.
About the Chinese Yuan
The Chinese Yuan (CNY, ¥) is the unit of the broader Renminbi currency system, issued by the People's Bank of China since 1948. The two names sometimes confuse newcomers: Renminbi (literally "people's currency") refers to the currency as a system, while yuan is the unit in which prices are quoted — both terms describe the same money. Two ISO codes circulate: CNY for the onshore mainland-traded yuan and CNH for the offshore yuan traded primarily in Hong Kong, which sometimes diverges modestly from the onshore rate. The PBOC operates a managed-float regime: a daily mid-point is set against the dollar and the market is permitted to trade within a roughly 2% band around it. For Africa, the yuan has become one of the most strategically important non-G3 currencies. China-Africa bilateral trade reached approximately $348 billion in 2025, up around 17% year-on-year, with Nigeria, South Africa, Angola, Egypt and Kenya as the largest counterparties. In April 2026, Ecobank confirmed negotiations with the Bank of China to launch direct local-currency-to-yuan settlement across its 35 African markets, signalling a structural move away from US-dollar intermediation for African importers paying Chinese suppliers. Note that the ¥ symbol is shared with the Japanese yen — context matters when reading a number.
