The government capitalized on a rapid increase in oil revenues and through administrative measures that delegated more responsibility for spending decisions to line ministries, achieved a rapid increase in the rate of public spending on cash transfers, goods and services and public works. This note starts by summarizing the evolving challenges of the post-independence PFM system, the fragility of 2006/07, and the changed fiscal outlook following the surge in petroleum revenue. It then looks at the government's PFM policies that helped it to address urgent demands and successfully restore short term stability. The note concludes by drawing possible lessons from this period for other post-conflict situations. 2017-06-30T16:13:19Z 2017-06-30T16:13:19Z 2010-11-02 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/597981468340182384/Timor-Lestes-recovery-from-the-2006-crisis-some-lessons http://hdl.handle.net/10986/27509 English en_US World Development Report 2011 Background Papers; CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Working Paper Publications & Research East Asia and Pacific Timor-Leste
