Share of World GDP: Timor-Leste

Analysis# Timor-Leste Share of World GDP Timor-Leste accounts for 0.003% of global GDP in 2026, matching its lowest recorded level in 2000. The nation's economic footprint remains minimal on the world stage, having fluctuated within a narrow 0.003–0.006% band over the past 26 years. Despite zero net change since 2000, the country experienced notable volatility, particularly during the 2020–2021 period when its share peaked at 0.006%. A sharp contraction followed the 2020 peak, with Timor-Leste's share declining to 0.004% by 2022. Since then, it has continued sliding back to baseline levels. The recent downward trajectory from 2021 onward reflects economic headwinds that outpaced global growth. Projections through 2026 suggest Timor-Leste will remain at its current minimal share, indicating structural economic constraints limiting its integration into global output.
