Timor-Leste's GDP has exhibited significant growth over the past three and a half decades, with the country's economy expanding from approximately $128.21 billion in 1990 to $2.13 trillion in 2025. The all-time peak of $3.63 trillion in 2021 highlights the nation's remarkable economic progress, surpassing that of its peer countries. Notably, Timor-Leste's GDP surpassed Seychelles' $2.23 trillion in 2025, solidifying its position as a rapidly growing economy in the region. The country's GDP growth has been largely driven by its oil and gas sector, as well as investments in infrastructure development. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing recovery efforts, Timor-Leste's economy is expected to continue its upward trajectory, driven by its vast natural resources and strategic location. A decline in global oil prices, however, could potentially alter the trajectory of the country's economic growth.
