BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, March 31 (Xinhua) -- Brunei's total import value rose by 5.8 percent year on year to 2.25 billion Brunei dollars (1.75 billion U.S. dollars) in the fourth quarter of 2025, according to a press release from the Department of Economic Planning and Statistics (DEPS) under Brunei's Ministry of Finance and Economy.
According to the DEPS on Monday, Brunei's exports were valued at 3.33 billion Brunei dollars (2.59 billion dollars) in the fourth quarter of 2025, marking a 1.1 percent decrease from the same period a year earlier.
Despite the decline in export value, the export volume index rose by 9.3 percent year-on-year. The growth was driven largely by higher shipments of mineral fuels, particularly petroleum products, as well as gains in chemicals and manufactured goods.
Meanwhile, total import value rose by 5.8 percent year on year to 2.25 billion Brunei dollars (1.75 billion dollars) in the fourth quarter of 2025. The increase was attributed to higher demand for mineral fuels, machinery and transport equipment, and chemicals. ■
