Overview
Timor-Leste's m2 money supply growth stood at 15.67% in 2025, a rise of +12.96pp from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 15.67% by 2025. Timor-Leste ranked 27th globally.
Timor‑Leste’s M2 money‑supply growth has been markedly volatile over the 22‑year span from 2003 to 2025, falling from an early‑year high of 41.11 % to a dramatic all‑time peak of 43.87 % in 2007, before sliding to a trough of –7.11 % in 2019. The latest figure for 2025 shows growth of 15.67 %, placing the country 27th globally and closely aligning with peers such as St. Vincent and the Grenadines (15.91 %) and Kazakhstan (15.17 %). The post‑trough rebound reflects a combination of fiscal consolidation, modest inflationary pressures and expanding credit to the private sector, yet the pace remains well below the early‑2000s surge that accompanied rapid fiscal expansion and infrastructure investment. Continued monetary tightening or a resurgence of external shocks could dampen the recovery, while sustained fiscal discipline and deeper financial‑sector development are likely to keep growth rates modestly positive in the coming years.
