The report explores how Timor-Leste’s largely homogenous MSMEs are trading and looks at issues around financing, digitalization, and supply chains.
With Timor-Leste aiming for ASEAN accession this year, establishing a comprehensive national policy for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) would be a critical concrete step in realizing its goal.
The report explores how Timor-Leste’s largely homogenous MSMEs are trading and looks at issues around financing, digitalization, and supply chains. It shows how policies designed to incentivize exports, boost innovation by clustering businesses, and encourage digitalization could support a mid- to long-term strategy to develop a diverse range of growth-oriented ventures.
