Preface

We are pleased to present External Trade Statistics 2022, the seventh official publication of annual trade statistics for Timor-Leste. The statistics contained in this report show the patterns of international trade relating to Timor-Leste during the 2022 calendar year. Additionally, the report provides comparative annual data for 2018 to 2022.

This publication provides the trade statistics required for government, the donor community, NGOs, universities, research organizations and the private sector. This report is produced annually, along with the regular monthly trade data releases that began in January 2004. In addition to this publication the DGE has now established a comprehensive Trade statistics database. On request, this database can provide detailed statistical data that is presented in this annual publication.

External Trade Statistics are compiled from declaration made to the Timor-Leste Customs Service by importers and exporters, or their agents. We would like to express our thanks for the cooperation of the Customs Service in providing the base data used to compile this publication.

This publication is a result of a team at DGE Trade Statistics Section, composed of Mr. Eduardo Martinho Ximenes and Ms. Laura de Jesus Moreira under the Director of the National Directorate of Economic and Social Statistics, Mr. Cristino Gusma o, SE, M.ec.Dev.
