Dokumentu seluk importante | This is the first budget being enacted under Timor-Leste's just-passed Budget and Financial Management Law, (also Port.), Law no 13/2009. When the draft law was under discussion, La'o Hamutuk and other NGOs suggested improvements. The 2010 budget estimates the sustainable income (ESI) from the Petroleum Fund for 2010 at $502 million (an increase of $94 million since last year) and proposes to spend all of it, but not more. It also anticipates that during 2009, actual government expenditures will not exceed the ESI of $408 million. However, two weeks after the budget was submitted to Parliament the Government requested the BPA to transfer a total of $512 million from the Petroleum Fund during 2009, and La'o Hamutuk protested. Although the budget does not include an allocation for Timor-Leste to borrow from external sources, it discusses this for several pages and says that "loans will be used to finance infrastructure projects which are national priorities. The value of these projects is likely to be around $3bn over the term of the project life, which will be several years." This budget cuts the Capital and Development allocation for the Heavy Oil Power project drastically (see below), but is unclear how that project is to continue . However, later developments show that it will be expanded, and probably paid for with a loan. | Orsamentu 2010 primera vez TL uza lei kona ba Orçamento e Gestão Financeira foin promulga husi PR.

| Committee C held hearings on the State Budget: Parliament debated many amendments, and approved the entire budget on 3 December, increasing the expenditures by $23 million to a total of $660 million. The changes are detailed in a government Press Release. The President promulgated the Budget Law (Tetum) on 15 December 2009. We have written a detailed page on issues and implications of Timor-Leste borrowing money. On 1 June 2010, the Government proposed a mid-year budget adjustment to parliament, increasing expenditures for 2010 by $178 million, while withdrawing up to $811 million (a $309 million increase over the ESI withdrawal already approved) this year. | Komisaun C halo audensia publiku kona ba Orsamento Geral Estadu nian. | 26-27 Out. | Ministra Finansas | | 28 Out. | Ministru Turismo, Komersiu no Industria
