BRUNEI'S NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
 
In its effort to stimulate economic growth, the Brunei Government is actively promoting the development of various target sectors through its five-year National Development Plans. These outline the distribution of government funding and the budget allocated for development in various sectors of the country.
 
The current 9th National Development Plan (2007-2012) marks a strategic shift in the planning and implementation of development projects, as it is the first national development plan to have been formulated in line with the objectives of Brunei Darussalam’s recently launched long-term development plan, better known as “Wawasan Brunei 2035”, or “Vision Brunei 2035”.
