Overview
Timor-Leste's exports stood at $22.3M in 2025, a decline of +$255.8M from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $22.3M by 2025. Timor-Leste ranked 174th globally.
Timor‑Leste’s export performance has deteriorated sharply over the past two decades, falling from a high of 2,834,213,905.50 in 2021 to a trough of 22,291,833.87 in 2025, placing the country at rank 174 globally. The 2025 figure represents a decline of more than 99 % from the 2021 peak and is lower than the export values of peer island economies such as Kiribati (15,486,127.30) and Palau (12,539,600.00). The early‑2000s level of 43,343,080.75 in 2006 already exceeded current output, indicating a long‑term downward trajectory that predates the recent collapse. Structural constraints, limited diversification and the impact of global commodity price volatility have constrained export growth, while the COVID‑19 pandemic and subsequent supply‑chain disruptions likely amplified the 2021 peak’s reversal. Absent significant investment in processing capacity, trade‑facilitating infrastructure and market diversification, Timor‑Leste’s export values are expected to remain near the low‑level range observed in 2025.
