The National Microfinance Bank of Tanzania helps Bail out the Tanzania Electric Supply Company (Tanesco) with a USD 56million Loan
The National Microfinance Bank of Tanzania has joined a syndicate of local banks and pension funds to lend USD 238million to Tanesco, the parastatal electricity company, wholly owned by the Tanzanian government, money which will be used to pay off debts to suppliers and invest in new equipment. The National Microfinance Bank was founded in 1997, and is the third most profitable bank in Tanzania, holding USD 430million in deposits and assets. The loan to Tanesco supports NMB’s business interests, as well as those of its customers, as it organises collection services for the electricity firm via its network. Currently the Tanzanian government owns 51% of the bank, having sold off the remainder of its stake in 2005. The loan syndicate involved in the bail out includes five banks and four pension funds all from Tanzania.

I started my search on this topic at the source, the government. On the SBA website there are tutorials on how to apply for and win government contracts. By taking one of these convenient online courses all of my questions were answered. I want to share some of this information but I would also recommend that anyone interested in acquiring government contracts take this online course themselves.

If Business Ran Like the Government
The big news these days is the federal government’s debt ceiling. Every time Washington gets into one of these messes - which it does a lot - people renew the discussion about how government should be run. “If I ran my company the way they run the government…” The outcome is usually bankruptcy or prison. Should government be run like a business? That’s a debate for another article. But, the surprising thing is many business ARE run like the government.
