Fulusi : Tanzania Financial Market Insights Platform ## About Fulusi 📈 Fulusi is a project that aims to build financial awareness on the Tanzania Finance Market with focus on Bank Forex Exchange rates , Stock Markets ( Dar es Salaam Stock Market ), Government Mutual Funds ( UTT AMIS ), Watumishi Housing Fund , Government Bonds and Corporate Bonds. Ideally an information platform that provides live data , shows trend on the growth of foreign currencies , stocks and mutual funds to help Tanzanian citizens to invest. ## The Why 🤔💭? According to the recent Tanzania CENSUS survey , 1% of Tanzanians invest in the stock market compared to 4% in Kenya , the rate is similar in other investment instruments including bonds , mutual funds and foreign exchanges. I believe with this platfom citizens can get live data and monitor how different instruments perform and invest.
