AGP Executive Report
Last update: 28 minutes agoEnergy & Oil & Gas: Timor Gap has signed a binding agreement with Osaka Gas to buy a 10% stake in the Greater Sunrise gas project, lifting Timor Gap’s share to 66.56% and aiming to push the stalled investment decision forward amid the long-running dispute over where the gas should be piped for LNG export. Energy Policy & Planning: The Council of Ministers in Dili reviewed updated reference costs for renting heavy equipment and fuel, warning that rising construction inputs—especially for highways—may require updating government cost benchmarks, alongside presentations feeding into the 2027–2030 medium-term plan. Climate Finance & Resilience: At an LDC ministerial meeting in Dili, Nepal’s climate-disaster impacts (BhoteKoshi flood) were used to press for more predictable, grant-based support and faster loss-and-damage assistance, with calls for concrete action to cut fossil fuels. International Cooperation: The UAE and Timor-Leste discussed accelerating digital government services, plus cooperation on water management, food security, and investment, including steps toward finalising economic agreements. Local Industry & Skills: While not East Timor-focused, the week’s training story highlights how practical skills programs can turn into new livelihoods—an approach Dili could mirror for local manufacturing and services.
