Brunei businesses expect higher investment levels in the coming months, says central bank


BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN (Xinhua): Businesses in Brunei are expected to increase their investment levels over the next few months, according to the Business Sentiment Index (BSI) for April 2026 published by the Brunei Darussalam Central Bank (BDCB), according to local media reports.

The investment sub-indices stood at 70.4 for the current month, 79.0 for the one-month ahead index and 78.5 for three months ahead, indicating healthy expectations for investment in general, according to Borneo Bulletin on Tuesday.

BDCB also reported that businesses in Brunei showed optimistic sentiments in April 2026, with overall conditions remaining stable in May 2026.

The optimism was attributed to the resumption of normal business operations, fewer disruptions caused by holiday periods, and continued momentum from ongoing and newly secured projects. -- Xinhua
