> We do not take this position to hold Timor-Leste back, but to

> 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.
>
> 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.
>
> The poorest and most vulnerable members of society have been

> Some argue that revenue from Timor-Leste’s oil and gas wealth can

> petroleum-export-dependent country in the world, with oil and gas

> Oil prices and interest rates are very volatile and beyond
> Timor-Leste’s control, leaving it especially at risk, as petroleum

> less than 15 years, and debts still must be repaid, Timor-Leste’s
> children and grandchildren will suffer the consequences.

> In most developing countries with oil resources, worsening
