Timor-Leste Profile:
- East Timor, officially the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste is a sovereign state in Maritime Southeast Asia.
- After petroleum, the second largest export is coffee, which generates about $10 million a year. Starbucks is a major purchaser of East Timorese coffee.
- The economy is dependent on government spending and, to a lesser extent, assistance from foreign donors. Private sector development has lagged due to human capital shortages, infrastructure weakness, an incomplete legal system, and an inefficient regulatory environment.
- The government has focused significant resources on basic infrastructure, including electricity and roads, but limited experience in procurement and infrastructure building has hampered these projects.
- The country was ranked 169th overall and last in the East Asia and Pacific region by the Doing Business 2013 report by the World Bank
Timor-Leste Economy:
- East Timor has a market economy that used to depend upon exports of a few commodities such as coffee, marble, petroleum, and sandalwood.
- The development of offshore oil and gas resources has greatly supplemented government revenues.
- The technology-intensive industry, however, has done little to create jobs, because there are no production facilities in Timor-Leste.
- Annual government budget expenditures increased markedly between 2009 and 2012 but dropped significantly through 2016. Historically, the government failed to spend as much as its budget allowed.
- The underlying economic policy challenge the country faces remains how best to use oil-and-gas wealth to lift the non-oil economy onto a higher growth path and to reduce poverty.
