Support with Phase 2 of housing finance retail product piloting, capacity building and end of project reporting in Tanzania
Through this partnership we aimed to realize the goal of expanding access to home ownership for all families, and hence aiming to unlock new HMF opportunities for low-income families. We believe there is a tremendous potential in Tanzania’s housing finance market to reach low-income families and through TMRC who is a wholesale lender we are eager to build a case for HMF in the country and explore how financial institutions can tap into this market through tailoured loan products.
Tanzania has one of the fastest
growing economies in the world, although the HMF sector is still in its
nascency hence, many families still struggle to access adequate and
affordable housing. The Center for Affordable Finance in Africa
estimates that Tanzania has a backlog of over 3 million homes, with
demand growing by 200,000 homes annually. The high cost of formal
financing options and limited affordable housing supply remain as key
barriers. It is therefore critical that our efforts to expand the market
are data-driven and informed by a strong understanding of low-income
families’ housing needs across the country
As part of the implementation
of component one of the HFP, TMRC was established in 2010 and became
operational in 2011, as a Mortgage Liquidity Facility (MLF), a secondary
market financial institution offering long term loans to Primary
Mortgage Lenders (PMLs) for the sole purpose of PMLs extending
residential mortgages to their clients.

- About Tanzania Mortgage Refinance Company Limited (TMRC)
Tanzania Mortgage Refinance Company Limited (TMRC) is a specialized private-sector financial institution that provides long-term funding to financial institutions for mortgage lending purposes. Since its inception, its objective has been to support financial institutions to do mortgage lending by refinancing Primary Mortgage Lenders’ (PMLs’) mortgage portfolios. This type of lending is also known as wholesale or secondary market lending. TMRC is neither taking deposits nor lending directly to individuals. It refinances mortgage loan portfolios rather than individuals mortgage loans and caters to banks rather than individual borrowers. . TMRC membership is open to banks and non-banking institutions which have an interest in the development of the housing sector with 32 banks and financial institutions in its portolfio currently.
To date, TMRC has implemented this role fairly well with the outstanding loan book growing to TZS 145.2 billion in June 2022, out of the total market mortgage portfolio of TZS 510 billion, implying that TMRC financed 28% of the market portfolio. TMRC has also helped to extend mortgage tenor in the market from 5 – 7 years in 2011 to 15 – 25 years in 2022, growing its number of shareholders from 4 to 17 including international investors such as Shelter Afrique and International Finance Corporation (IFC). The overall mortgage market in Tanzania has grown from Tzs 76 billion in 2011 to Tzs 510 billion in June 2022.
TMRC with support from HFHI is now considering building a case for HMF in Tanzania and explore how the financial institutions can tap into this market through tailored loan products.
