Official rate vs market rate
This is the official reference rate published by BOT TZ SIGNALS. In economies with currency controls the parallel (market) rate can diverge sharply from the official one — so always check the as-of date above. The API returns the official figure with its source and retrieval date, so you can reconcile it against your own market feed.
TZS per USD over time
Annual period-average official rate. A rising line means the TZS has weakened against the US dollar.
