Brunei records 7.1 per cent total trade increase in October

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Jan 14 (Xinhua): Brunei recorded 2.4775 billion Brunei dollars (US$1.8712 billion) total trade for October 2022, a 7.1 percent year-on-year increase contributed by a rise in import value.

The latest International Merchandise Trade Statistics released on Friday by the Department of Economic Planning and Statistics at the Ministry of Finance and Economy showed that Brunei's exports in October decreased by 2.5 per cent yearly to 1,302.9 million Brunei dollars, which was mainly due to the decrease in mineral fuel exports.
