LANGUAGES..

Brunei Darussalam is a small country and rich,

with a mixture of foreign and domestic entrepreneurship, government regulation and welfare measures, and village tradition.

Its economy is almost dependent on crude oil exports and natural gas on the whole, the results from the petroleum sector accounting for more than half of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Brunei's per capita GDP far above many Third World countries, with quite a lot of income from overseas investments to increase income from domestic production.

ECONOMY..

Brunei is the third largest oil producer in Southeast

Asia with output of 180,000 barrels (29,000 m³) per day, as well as liquid natural gas producer in the world's fourth largest.

GDP soared with the rise in oil prices in the 1970s and peaked in 1980 with a GDP of U.S. $ 5.7 billion.

However, GDP declined slightly in the past five years in a row, and then fell almost 30% in 1986.

The fall in GDP was caused by a combination of falling oil prices and production cuts by Brunei voluntarily.
