East Timor's economic outlook favorable with 5% growth in 2026

RTP Notícias3 September 2026 at 06:30

The economic outlook of East Timor remains favorable, according to the medium-term economic review by the Central Bank of East Timor (BCTL). Growth in non-oil gross domestic product is projected at 5% for the year 2026.

The Central Bank of East Timor is the institution responsible for this assessment, which covers the medium-term horizon of the Timorese economy. This projection represents a positive expectation for the country's economic performance.

The document specifically refers to the non-oil sector of the economy, indicating that this sector should record significant growth in the analyzed period. This distinction is relevant given that East Timor has an economy partially dependent on oil.

Entrepreneurs and firms: Determining factors of the intensity and quality of development

This article analyses the determining factors of economic development, arguing that, after the Industrial Revolution, entrepreneurial capacity and business organisation replaced natural resource endowments as the main drivers of progress. The text identifies the chronic undersizing of the business fabric — with Portugal presenting an average of 3.3 workers per company and over 95% micro-enterprises — as the main structural dysfunction, resulting from a family "ownership culture" averse to delegation, from the "geography of distrust" that blocks cooperation, and from the proliferation of zombie companies that congest resources. Euro adoption appears to have eliminated the exchange rate buffer that sustained the competitiveness of SMEs in Southern Europe. The article proposes an integrated five-axis agenda: reduction of regulatory penalties on growth, professionalisation of family businesses, diversification of financing with venture capital, improvement of market selection and creation of scale substitutes through cooperative technological centres.

More than half of VC investment in defense comes from outside Europe

More than half of the venture capital investment in the European defense sector comes from outside Europe, according to data from Atomico cited in the State of European Tech Newsletter. Since the beginning of the year, European defense technology companies have raised $4.9 billion, a figure higher than the $2.6 billion raised throughout all of last year. Portuguese technology company Tekever, a unicorn in the drone sector, is reportedly preparing a $500 million round that could increase its valuation from $1.2 billion to $5.5 billion. However, the landscape could change, as European pension funds and primes are beginning to invest in this sector.
