Economy
On the whole, the economy has performed fairly well since the mid 1990s, and in 2006, Tanzania signed economic agreements with China for development assistance in the communications, transport and health sectors. Also in 2006, the African Development Bank wrote off US$640 million of Tanzania's foreign debt claiming that it was impressed with the country's steady economic growth and accountability of public funds.
Tanzania is a member of the African Development Bank, the Southern African Development Community and the East African Community (EAC). After a failed attempt in 1977, an East African Customs Union was established with Kenya and Uganda in 2005.
