Specifically the study was intended to ascertain the extent at which FDI inflows in Mining and Quarrying sector, manufacturing sector and Agriculture and Livestock sector influence economic growth in Tanzania. The significance of the study was built upon the need to understand if the sector matters in FDI impacts concerns. The study was to add value in the available contradicting empirical findings of the same. Time series data from 1998 to 2013 were used in multiple linear regression using the ordinary least squire (OLS) method. The findings show that Foreign Direct Investment in the studied sectors of Mining and Quarrying has a positive significant impact on economic growth while Manufacturing and Agricultural sector have positive but insignificant impact on Economic growth of Tanzania. Unlike the manufacturing sector, a comparatively lesser FDI inflow in the Agricultural sector could be the reason for insignificant effect. The implication is that for the hosting country to benefit from FDI the hosting country needs to have FDI-specific policies. Such a policy would state clearly about the contract both parties are about to enter in consideration of issues like the types of FDIs to be attracted, how to attract including reasonable incentives, what the country should gain in terms of added value for each specific FDI that is attracted and how to sustain the potential and actual FDI benefits.
