AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Manpower & jobs: Singapore will open more labour channels for East Timor workers from next year, including construction, marine shipyard and process sectors, plus selected manufacturing and services roles—aimed at easing Singapore’s manpower crunch while helping Dili use its young workforce. Energy & investment pipeline: ASX-listed Finders Energy says Timor-Leste officials approved the Kuda Tasi and Jahal offshore oil field development plan, clearing a key regulatory step toward a final investment decision. Regional skills & training: Australia will spend about US$359.8m on skills development in Fiji and Timor-Leste (2025–2029) under the Pacific Australia Skills programme, shifting to locally led training systems tied to employment outcomes. Business ties & workers: Singapore also signalled new opportunities for Singapore firms to hire East Timorese workers under work-permit arrangements from mid-2027 in targeted sectors like construction. Policy backdrop: A wider regional push for “blue economy” projects is drawing calls for stronger community say in how ocean-based investments are designed and governed, a theme relevant to Timor-Leste’s coastal economy.
