EAST TIMOR: Policy challenges over oil and gas revenue
Updated
The East Timor Parliament's vote on the government budget next month will be one answer to a large question - Can East Timor beat the curse posed by its its own resource wealth? East Timor has set up a Petroleum Fund to handle oil and gas revenue, and the policy choice for Timor's politicians is whether the discipline of the fund can be maintained.
Presenter: Graeme Dobell
Speakers: Dr Jenny Drysdale of the Fenner School of Environment and Society at the Australian National University, author of a study of petroleum revenue management in Timor-Leste. Study details: http://cres10.anu.edu.au/~jenster/
