Brunei braving the economic headwind: Minister


BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN (Borneo Bulletin/Asia News Network): Navigating through a pandemic crisis was undoubtedly a difficult experience. Now, as the world acclimatises to the new norm, the journey to rebuild the business and reclaim the momentum will be equally challenging. In fact, it may demand greater effort than ever before.

Minister of Primary Resources and Tourism Dato Seri Setia Dr Abdul Manaf Metussin (pic) said this in a keynote address titled ‘New Opportunities for a New Economy’ during the Transform 2022 Town Hall Forum at Radisson Hotel on Thursday (Sept 22).
