Abstract

The government of Tanzania has persistently experienced uneven growth rate of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and failed to attain the national target. This research study intended to examine the impact of oil price volatility on inflation and economic growth in Tanzania. Specifically, the analysed the causal relationship between Oil Price Volatility, inflation and economic growth in Tanzania. The study employed secondary data and the modelling of time series data was done by using Auto regressive distributed lag model (ARDL). The analysis showed the following results, after controlling the effect of export and import, the oil price volatility has negative impact on economic growth and after controlling the effect of exchange rate and Interest rate on the inflation rate it showed that the oil price volatility has positive impact on inflation in long run. whenever the oil price volatility increases by one percent the inflation rate increases by the rate of 1.340 percentage. Furthermore, the analysis result showed that there was no causality between the oil price volatility and economic growth (GDP); there was a two-way direction of causality between economic growth (GDP) and inflation rate and also, the result showed there was a one-way direction of the causality from the oil price volatility on inflation that means that oil price volatility enhanced the inflation rate. The study recommendation or advice was the Government through the regulatory authority to manage the oil price volatility, exchange rate, export and import in order to curb effects on inflation and economic growth (GDP).
