Innovating Mindset, Empowering People Brunei Darussalam is aiming to transform and diversify the economy to ensure its resilience and sustainability. The Borneo Bulletin Yearbook (BBYB) 2017 will highlight the initiatives that are geared towards empowering the private sector, particularly the non-oil and gas sector, to play a bigger role in driving the growth and diversification of the economy. The content will feature key information about Brunei with special focus on economy, infrastructure development, trade, primary resources and tourism. One of the topics is entrepreneurship development that is expected to complement the government’s role in creating jobs and business opportunities.
BBYB 2017 will also feature the emergence of DARe (Darussalam Enterprise), a statutory body that was established to nurture and support local enterprises from start-up to growth. DARe is also active in providing platforms to improve the business ecosystem in Brunei.
This comprehensive guide will highlight insights into the nation’s direction for the economy. Topics will include initiatives to improve the ease of doing business, as well as infrastructure, training and finance to assist entrepreneurs to start and grow their businesses and industries.
Top executives from the business sector, including banking and finance, will provide their views on the new economic direction. BBYB 2017 will also feature write-ups on companies that have grown under the business and industrial ecosystem that is nurtured by the relevant authorities. Published yearly since 1993, BBYB will continue to provide the latest updates on Brunei’s economy, future development plans, investment opportunities, latest names and designation of key government personnel, and fast facts on Brunei (population, labour, import/export and GDP growth) for years to come.
