Orsamentu Jeral Estadu RDTL tinan 2009


17 December 2009

Click for information on the 2010 General State Budget, the 2008 original or the 2008 mid-year budget.

On 24 November 2008, the RDTL Council of Ministers approved the General State Budget for 2009 (OGE2009), which was submitted to Parliament in early December. The total receipts from all sources are $1,344 million.

Expenditures from the State Budget total $681 million. Most of that will be paid with $589 million taken from the Petroleum Fund: $408 million newly Estimated as the Sustainable Income, plus $181 million more. The Prime Minister said that the Government plans to exceed the Sustainable Income in future years as well.

Some summary tables from the budget are reproduced lower down on this page. The 500-page Budget Book 1 can be downloaded as 4 MB English and Portuguese PDF files, including narrative texts, basic budget data and action plans from each Ministry. Book 2 (2 MB) which contains four-year expenditure plans for each department. More recent drafts may be on the Ministry of Finance website at http://www.mof.gov.tl/en/budget/2009.htm.

The Deputy Prime Minister's Explanation of the Motivations was not included in the Budget Books, but is here scanned from the original paper document, in Portuguese.

Part 6 (revenues), which describes how the Petroleum Fund is to be used, has been posted here, with annotations by La'o Hamutuk.

La'o Hamutuk made a submission to Parliament Commission C (also Tetum) in late December on some key concerns regarding the budget.

Parliament Commission C issued its report (Portuguese) on 14 January, and recommended that the budget not withdraw more money than the Estimated Sustainable Income. Parliament began its plenary debate the same day (summary in Tetum or Portuguese), with a speech by the Prime Minister. Since then, oil prices have continued to fall.

On 30 January, Parliament completed its plenary discussion of the budget. In the final vote (after approving each ministry's budget, some with small changes), the budget was passed with 40 affirmative votes (AMP plus Jacob Xavier from KOTA/PPT), 20 negative votes (Fretilin), 4 abstentions (PUN plus Cipriana Pereira of Fretilin) and 1 absent (Manuel Tilman from KOTA/PPT).

We will continue to post information on the budget as it becomes available.
