Khadija said that the laws governing trade and investment in Tanzania are strong, effective, and robust.

"The purpose of establishing the Fair Competition Commission (FCC) is to oversee and improve the conduct of business in the country, protect consumers against unfair practices in business transactions between companies, and control counterfeit products," she said.

“We want to ensure that investors within the country understand that there are strong laws in place to protect and support the investments they are making.”
