GDP (Gross Domestic Product): Timor-Leste

Analysis# Timor-Leste GDP (Gross Domestic Product) Timor-Leste's GDP stood at $2.208 billion in 2026, representing a remarkable 501.6% increase since 2000 when the nation's economy measured just $0.367 billion. The country reached its all-time peak of $3.625 billion in 2021, demonstrating strong economic expansion in the two decades following independence. Current output remains substantially above historical baselines, though recent years show contraction from that 2021 high. The sharp decline from 2021 to 2023—dropping from $3.625 billion to $2.08 billion—reflects vulnerability to external shocks and commodity price fluctuations. Recovery began in 2024, with GDP stabilizing and modestly expanding through 2026. The recent upward trajectory suggests stabilization around the $2.1–2.2 billion range, indicating the economy has found a sustainable equilibrium well above its early-2000s baseline.
