Timor-Leste graduation status
Timor-Leste met the graduation criteria in 2015, 2018 and 2021. The Committee for Development Policy (CDP) deferred its decision on a recommendation to 2024. In 2024, Timor-Leste no longer met the graduation criteria.
[Official data and documents referring to the Committee for Development Policy (CDP)'s 2024 triennial review of the LDC category are being processed and will be posted as soon as they are available]
Next step: when Timor-Leste meets the graduation criteria again, its graduation process will re-start (it will be considered in the same way as a country meeting the criteria for the first time).
