SURVEY: MAPPING EUROPEAN INVESTMENT IN TIMOR-LESTE

The Delegation of the European Union in Timor-Leste in collaboration with EU Member State is embarking on an exercise to map the presence of European companies in Timor-Leste, as well as to assess the interest of potential EU investors in the Timorese market. This exercise is part of a broader effort by the EU to accompany Timor-Leste in its shared goal of increasing trade and investment, and to support local economic development. The mapping exercise will be conducted via an online survey, the results of which will be used to better support EU businesses operating in Timor-Leste through tailored dialogue on the investment climate with the Timorese government.

 

All EU firms in the country or potential investors can participate by completing the 5-minute survey online (https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/EUInvestmentTimorLeste ), on our website, as well as on our social media by 29 May 2024.

By “European,” we consider any firm to qualify that has European shareholding, capital, registration, Headquarters, trade (imports or exports) and linkages with the Timorese diaspora in Europe, i.e. firms from the EU 27 Member States.

All answers will be handled discretely and in line with the existing EU data protection rules and regulations and only presented at an aggregated level (as a whole, not mentioning individual companies) and will not be shared with third parties.

Participants, who need further information or would like to add input not covered by the survey, are free to contact Ms Susana Martins (susana.martins@ec.europa.eu), who is coordinating this project at the EU Delegation to Timor-Leste.
