Despite significant progress, Timor-Leste continues to face challenges, including:
Limited Credit Access: The financial sector is still developing, with limited access to credit for businesses and individuals.
Low Employment Opportunities: Creating sufficient quality employment opportunities for a young and growing population remains a key challenge.
Dependence on Petroleum Fund: While the Petroleum Fund provides significant revenue, the long-term sustainability of the economy requires successful diversification.
Infrastructure Gaps: Despite investments, significant gaps in infrastructure persist, particularly in rural areas.
The government and its partners are committed to addressing these challenges through strategic planning, targeted investments, and continued reforms to build a resilient and prosperous future for Timor-Leste.
