Critical Notes on Crude Oil Mining as a Prime Mover of Timor Leste’s Economic: The Paradox of Abundance
Journal Title: Journal of Economics, Finance and Management Studies - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 02
Abstract
After the international recognition of Timor-Leste's independence, the oil and gas sector has provided a very dominant contribution to the development of the economy and government. In fact, oil and natural gas revenues are expected to be a major determinant of the country's economic growth, although it is known that the final outcome will depend largely on the use of oil and gas revenues. The purpose of this critical note is to contribute critical thinking about the negative impact of the abundance of natural resources, especially crude oil, in Timor Leste, which continues to be the main source of the economy. While it is true that oil revenues are critical to achieving the goals set out in the Timor-Leste national development program, it is also true that oil revenues pose challenges to governance capacity, as international experience shows that countries are rich in natural resources (oil and gas). nature) often experience more waste and corruption than other countries. The negative effect of abundance on natural resources has become known as the "resource curse".
