1. Overview
We currently do not have an up-to-date guide for Brunei.
Brunei’s economy is dominated by the oil and gas sector, which provides over 60% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). While developing the downstream side of oil and gas, the government is also actively encouraging economic diversification, including the development of a ‘knowledge economy’.
Brunei is not a short-term market. Traditionally, business has depended on relationships developed over the long-term.
2. Who to contact
Department for International Trade (DIT) no longer has an office in Brunei.
Any commercial enquiries should be directed to the Foreign and Commonwealth’s (FCO) Commercial and Prosperity Manager, Siti Mahmud.
Contact UK Export Finance (UKEF) about trade finance and insurance cover for UK companies. You can also check the current UKEF cover position for Brunei.
