BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN: Brunei recorded a 13.0-per cent year-on-year increase in its Residential Property Price Index (RPPI) for the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025, the Brunei Darussalam Central Bank (BDCB) said.
In a press release issued on Monday, the BDCB stated that the RPPI stood at 99.2 during the first quarter.
The central bank also reported that the index increased by 6.4 per cent quarter-on-quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2025.
The RPPI measures changes in the prices of private residential properties purchased by households over time, providing an indication of movements in the residential property market.
In terms of location, the majority of residential properties purchased were recorded in the Brunei Muara district, the country's most populated district.
A total of 72 properties were purchased in Brunei Muara, reflecting the district's continued position as the main centre for residential property activity. - Xinhua
