| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 1.58 billion | 2024 |
| Five years earlier | 1 billion | 2019 |
| Ten years earlier | 1.13 billion | 2014 |
| Highest | 1.58 billion | 2024 |
| Lowest | 312.19 million | 2005 |
| Average since 2015 | 1.14 billion | 2015–2024 |
| First recorded | 605.54 million | 2000 |
Over five years it is up 57.73% from 1 billion in 2019 (9.54% a year on average, compounded). Since 2000 it is up 161.54% from 605.54 million in 2000 (4.09% a year on average, compounded).
In 2024, Timor-Leste's imports of goods and services (current LCU) rose 14.7% on 2023 (from 1.38 billion to 1.58 billion).
Across the 23 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2023), the average change was +5.9% and a typical year strayed about 22.3% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.4 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 58.5% in 2007 and the biggest yearly fall was 30.1% in 2003. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is upward, about 76.22 million a year. A straight line explains 88% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2024, Timor-Leste had the 31st highest value of the 34 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.
