On February 10, the Brunei Economy Roundtable 2026 brought together policymakers and business leaders to assess Brunei’s economic outlook and priorities for the year ahead in support of Brunei Vision 2035. The Minister of Finance and Economy stressed the importance of close cooperation between the public and private sectors to strengthen competitiveness and drive long-term growth. Discussions centred on accelerating economic diversification, enhancing resilience and positioning Brunei to benefit from regional and global developments. Key topics included foreign direct investment, trade expansion, sustainability and the adoption of digital solutions to boost productivity.
Business implications
The roundtable highlights continued government support for private sector participation in economic diversification and productivity growth. Businesses may benefit from increased opportunities linked to investment, trade, digitalisation and sustainable supply chains, particularly as Brunei seeks to strengthen its role within the ASEAN and APEC economic landscape.
