<p><span> Dear friends and colleagues - </span></p>
<p><span> </span> </p>
<p><span> Please find below a sign-on statement initiated
by East Timor organizations and movements with support
from international allies. It is addressed to the
government of East Timor. We urge you to join the list
of signatories. </span></p>
<p><span> </span> </p>
<p><span> Many thanks, </span></p>
<p><span> </span> </p>

<p><span>For a Debt-Free East Timor!</span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> We, the undersigned Timor-Leste and
international organizations, urge the government of
Timor-Leste to keep the nation debt-free and refrain
from borrowing money from international lenders. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> We do not take this position to hold Timor-Leste
back, but to protect its future generations. Rather
than repeat the mistakes of other developing countries
that have struggled with debt during recent decades,
Timor-Leste should learn from their experiences, which
often inflicted great hardships on their people. This
is especially important because of Timor-Leste’s high
dependence on exporting non-renewable oil and gas
wealth, a resource which will run out soon. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> More than thirty years ago, lenders made loans
to developing countries, creating unsustainable debt
and causing the "debt crises" of the 1980s and 1990s.
Today, creditors continue to drain scarce resources
that could have been spent on essential services like
health care, education, water and sanitation.
International financial institutions - like the IMF
and the World Bank - forced countries which owed them
money to implement so-called austerity measures,
demanding cuts in public services in order to repay
debt. This has included the privatization of state
services like water and electricity. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> The poorest and most vulnerable members of
society have been forced to pay more for essential
services, and salaries of public servants have been
lowered. Even when loans are made at concessional
interest rates, borrowing countries are legally
obligated to repay the principal before spending money
on their people’s needs. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> Some argue that revenue from Timor-Leste’s oil
and gas wealth can provide a cushion against which to
borrow. History proves such thinking is wrong. The
more oil a country produces and the greater its
dependence on petroleum exports, the more debt that
country is likely to accumulate – and Timor-Leste
today is the most petroleum-export-dependent country
in the world, with oil and gas providing 95% of state
revenues. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> Oil prices and interest rates are very volatile
and beyond Timor-Leste’s control, leaving it
especially at risk, as petroleum revenues will decline
and interest rates may rise while loans are still
being paid back. When Timor-Leste's oil and gas run
out in less than 15 years, and debts still must be
repaid, Timor-Leste’s children and grandchildren will
suffer the consequences. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> In most developing countries with oil resources,
worsening economic and development conditions with
little long term benefit are the result, including
increased conflict, impoverishment, and corruption.
Timor-Leste should avoid such a tragedy by learning
from other’s experiences, not repeating them.<span> </span>The
Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste began life in 2002
without owing money to anyone. For the sake of an
equitable, prosperous, and environmentally sound
future for today’s and tomorrow’s children,
Timor-Leste should remain debt-free. </span></p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p><span> We urge Timor-Leste’s leaders and international
institutions to use other ways to finance the
country’s much-needed development. </span></p>
