Understand the numbers
What Brunei Darussalam's economic profile is telling you
Brunei Darussalam combines a high GDP per capita with an economy strongly shaped by hydrocarbons. Real growth was modest in 2025 and the consumer-price series showed a small annual decline rather than inflation.
Merchandise exports exceeded imports in 2024. Australia and China were the two largest export destinations in the WTO profile, while Malaysia supplied roughly one third of imports.
Reading the headline data
GDP shows the current-dollar size of the economy, while real growth measures changes in output after accounting for price effects. Inflation and unemployment add separate information about household prices and labor conditions.
Reading the trade data
Merchandise exports and imports cover traded goods. They are not combined with services trade or treated as a current-account measure.
