Timor‑Leste’s services value added has risen sharply over the 26‑year span from 51.12 in 2000 to an all‑time peak of 72.69 in 2025, placing the country 22nd globally. The indicator fell to a trough of 30.45 in 2021 before rebounding strongly, suggesting that the post‑pandemic recovery and expanding tourism and digital services sectors have been pivotal. Compared with peers of similar rank, Timor‑Leste’s 2025 figure of 72.69 is only marginally lower than Israel’s 72.97 and slightly above the United Kingdom’s 72.60, underscoring a rapid convergence with more diversified economies. The sustained upward trajectory reflects continued investment in infrastructure, human capital, and regulatory reforms aimed at enhancing service export capacity. Maintaining this momentum will likely depend on deepening integration into regional trade networks and further digitalization, which could propel the services share beyond the current peak in the coming years.
