As of 2022, nearly 26 million people in Tanzania lived in extreme poverty, with the poverty threshold at 1.90 U.S. dollars a day. Roughly 100,000 people were pushed into poverty compared to 2021, possibly a remaining effect of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The headcount was, however, forecast to decrease in the coming years. By 2025, 25.2 million Tanzanians are projected to live on a maximum of 1.90 U.S. dollars per day.
