Manufacturer sector analysts have it that the nose dive of the industry was to be blamed on two sentiments expecting to have a negative impact.
The Zan Securities Chief Executive Officer, Mr Raphael Masumbuko said the immediacy of erratic power supply impact would not be seen but has negative effect on end year balance sheets.
“The effect of power rationing will definitely low industry output,” Mr Masumbuko said. The CEO urged that since the output envisaged to be low “will affect the return on share and earnings (dividends).”
Mr Masumbuko also said foreign investors normally preferred to invest on manufacturing sector but retained their investment to closely watch election calculation on risks.

The sector, according to another analyst, is sensitive to erratic power supply since manufacturers incur a number of extra costs to maintain smooth output.
The Confederation of Tanzania Industries, Director for Policy and Research, Mr Hussein Kamote said unstable electrical supply had its toll on manufacturers as it was started to be seen between May and June.
“The sector’s contribution in this quarter (Q3) to GDP will be poor since power supply was rampant, and it is late to reverse the output trend,” Mr Kamote said.
