Nevertheless, the country recorded a favourable performance in terms of attaining a macro-economic stability with low levels of inflation and a strong fiscal balance. Trade balance also continued to be high while the unemployment rate remained low.

SECTION 2 GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP) ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE AND The economy of Brunei Darussalam recorded an average growth of 0.3 per cent per annum during the period of 2007-2011. In 2011, Brunei Darussalam registered a growth of 2.2 per cent after an increase of 2.6 per cent in the previous year. Meanwhile in 2012, the economy is expected to grow at 2.6 per PROSPECTS OF BRUNEI DARUSSALAM cent. The expected growth rate, however, is still far from the targeted rate of 5.0 to 6.0 per cent per annum in order to achieve the Wawasan Brunei 2035 goals. This growth rate is also lower compared to the world’s and the ASEAN-5’s growth rates (Chart 2.1).

The non-oil and gas sector grew at an average of 2.3 per cent per annum and both the government and private sectors grew by 2.8 per cent and 1.9 per cent per annum respectively. Among the sectors that contributed to the growth of the non-oil and gas private sector were construction, wholesale and retail trade, transportation and finance.

The non-oil and gas sector, which comprised the government and private sectors, contributed 12.2 per cent and 22.3 per cent respectively (Chart 2.3). By economic activity, the industrial sector was the largest contributor accounting for 69.0 per cent of GDP which also included activities in the oil and gas sector. This was followed by the services sector at 30.0 per cent and the agriculture, forestry and fishery sectors at 1.0 per cent. 15 Buku RKN10 English.indd 15 12/8/12 11:22:13 AM Chart 2.3: Average Share of GDP at Current Prices, 2007-2011 GDP by Major Sector GDP by Economic Activity 1% 22.3% 30% 12.2%

According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Brunei Darussalam was ranked at the 27th position in the GDP per capita list in 2010. 16 Buku RKN10 English.indd 16 12/8/12 11:22:13 AM Chart 2.5: GDP per Capita at Current Prices

SECTION 2 ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE AND Source: JPKE PROSPECTS OF BRUNEI DARUSSALAM One of the aspirations of the Wawasan Brunei 2035 is for Brunei Darussalam to be within the top 10 countries in the world in terms of income per capita. As the population increases at an average rate of 2.0 per cent per annum, efforts to ensure faster economic growth relative to population growth needs to be intensified. These efforts include attracting foreign direct investments, stimulating entrepreneurial activities and enhancing knowledge, expertise and innovation. OIL AND GAS SECTOR In the period of 2007-2011, the average crude oil production amounted to 174,617 barrels per day while the average production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) amounted to 996,132 million BTU per day. Brunei Darussalam’s economic growth for the period of RKN10 will continue to be supported by the oil and gas as well as the non-oil and gas sectors. Exports of crude oil and LNG to importing countries such as China, South Korea and Japan will remain strong especially with new agreements or Memoranda of Understanding signed with those countries. In addition, exploration activities, both onshore and offshore, are also expected to produce positive outcomes. For the medium term period of 2012-2017, the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) forecasted crude oil prices in the world market will stabilise at a rate of more than USD90 per barrel. All three factors mentioned above will indeed influence and determine the performance of the oil and gas sector in the country. 17 Buku RKN10 English.indd 17 12/8/12 11:22:13 AM Chart 2.6: Oil and Gas Sector 210,000 111 120 1,060,000 16 14.68 100.99 1,040,000 12.93 14 200,000 100 11.64 1,020,000 12 190,000 79.09 79.27 80 1,000,000 10.46 10

An inflation rate of 2.1 per cent was recorded in 2008 which subsequently declined in the following years, before surging up again to 2.0 per cent in 2011. The increase in prices abroad affected Brunei Darussalam’s inflation as about 80 per cent of the country’s necessities, including private and industrial consumption, are imported. Despite this, the impact of higher import prices on domestic inflation was averted through the enforcement of the Price Control Act, the provision of subsidies on basic goods and utilities, and other administrative procedures. 18 Buku RKN10 English.indd 18 12/8/12 11:22:14 AM Chart 2.7: Inflation Rate 2.5 2.1 2.0 2.0 Inflation rate (%) 1.5

Hence the government will continue to initiate efforts to diversify its sources of revenue while at the same time optimising its expenditure.

SECTION 2 EXTERNAL TRADE Total trade grew at an average rate of 7.0 per cent per annum (Chart 2.9). On average, crude oil and LNG continued to be the main export contributing ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE AND more than 95.0 per cent of total exports during the period of 2007-2011. Brunei Darussalam’s four main export markets were Japan, Indonesia, Republic of Korea and Australia. PROSPECTS OF BRUNEI DARUSSALAM The two largest import were machinery and transport equipment and manufactured goods which represented an average of 38.0 per cent and 21.9 per cent of total imports respectively.

SECTION 2 Mining and Quarrying 17% Manufacturing 69% Others ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE AND PROSPECTS OF BRUNEI DARUSSALAM Source: JPKE CONCLUSION Brunei Darussalam registered low economic growth in the period of 2007- 2011. This implies that the country needs to make significant changes in its economic strategy so as to enable the country to grow at the target rates of 5.0 to 6.0 per cent per annum in order to realise the Wawasan Brunei 2035. In an effort to attain faster economic growth, the country must rise to the global economic challenges, especially as the country is still dependent on the revenue from the oil and gas sector which is influenced by external factors such as the prices and demand of oil and gas in the global market and the value of the US dollar. Efforts towards enhancing the economy through the non-oil and gas sector will thus continue to be the economic development strategy during the RKN10 period. Emphasis will also be placed on ensuring that economic growth will be generated by enhancing productivity which is in line with the RKN10 theme. The government through relevant agencies will focus on efforts to promote the following: innovation and the use of advanced technology; capacity building through investments in human resource development; research activities which can be commercialised; and streamlining processes to better facilitate the start up of businesses and investments in the country. 23 Buku RKN10 English.indd 23 12/8/12 11:22:16 AM SE BA Buku RKN10 English.indd 24 12/8/12 11:22:18 AM Tenth National Development Plan (2012-2017) Pencapaian ACHIEVEMENT OF

Through the five-year development plans, programmes for national development are generally planned and prepared for, in the form of physical infrastructure as well as social development. Such programmes have been key drivers to economic prosperity, improvements in the quality of life and political stability that are enjoyed by the citizens and residents of this country.

SECTION 4 Despite the prosperity and stability that have been derived from our oil and gas resources, the socio-economic achievements and stable environment that have been achieved thus far are still considered insufficient and TENTH NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT unsustainable, particularly for our future generations. This has been attributed to the fact that some of our national development objectives have not yet been realised, including our objectives to reduce dependence on the oil and gas industries, to diversify the non-oil and gas industries, and to PLAN THEME enhance the development of local entrepreneurs, especially the small and medium enterprises which we hope would become the leaders of industry and commerce. In the past few years, our economic growth has been relatively low compared to that attained by other economies within the region. This has been a considerable challenge for Brunei Darussalam in its continuous efforts to develop and gain benefits from the global economic growth, and in particular from the rapid growth in the Asian region. Moreover, higher and faster economic growth is crucial to significantly increase the nation’s revenue, to create employment opportunities and to empower small and medium enterprises. These are factors that can help generate manifold development which can further generate national prosperity and ultimately accomplish the goals of Wawasan Brunei 2035. As laid out in the Outline of Strategies and Policies for Development (OSPD) in the Wawasan Brunei 2035, RKN10 will continue the efforts to achieve the average annual economic growth target of 6.0 per cent. However, to achieve this growth target, a significant structural change in the economy is vital and Brunei has to chart out new frontiers in development that can transform it into a fast growing economy. In this respect, the Executive Committee of the Tenth National Development Plan has formulated the following theme for RKN10: Knowledge and Innovation, Increase Productivity, Accelerate Economic Growth 37 Buku RKN10 English.indd 37 12/8/12 11:22:31 AM In realising this theme, RKN10 will thus focus on speeding up the rate of In realising this theme, RKN10 will thus focus on speeding up the rate of economic growth.

POPULATION Students’ excellence in core subjects such as Mathematics, Science, Malay and Students’ English, excellence at the primaryinuntil coresecondary subjects such as Mathematics, levels, Science,on is also dependent Malay quality and English, at teaching techniques. the primary until secondary levels, is also dependent on quality teaching techniques. 49 Buku RKN10 English.indd 49 12/8/12 11:22:45 AM Currently on implementation, the success of the National Education System for the 21st Century (SPN21), will largely depend on teachers and their ability to adapt to changes called for by the system. Teachers will thus be given training focusing on a holistic education which is aimed at producing intelligent, competent, charismatic and versatile students. In addition, the government has also introduced a scheme for teachers called the ‘Skim Perkhidmatan Perguruan’ or the Teachers’ Service Scheme on 1st June 2008. This scheme aims to ensure that quality and high calibre teachers will remain committed in their career as teachers and be rewarded with appropriate remuneration. Various efforts and initiatives have also been implemented to strengthen ICT competencies and skills among teachers. Such efforts will enable them to further optimise their teaching skills through the use of the latest advanced THRUST 1 technologies. III) PROFESSIONAL AND HIGHLY SKILLED WORKFORCE EDUCATED AND HIGHLY SKILLED The provision of retraining and delivery of skills among the work force will further be reinforced as a means towards placing the economy in a higher value chain. Under the Human Resource Development (HRD) Fund that will continue to be POPULATION provided under the RKN10, several programmes and academic-enhancement schemes as well as the provision of training and placements will continue to be delivered and strengthened. This is to ensure that the human resource pool in this country possesses ‘up-to-date’ skills and can adapt accordingly to any changes and needs of the economy. The introduction of the Technical and Vocational Education Scholarship Scheme (BPTV) at the local private institutions on 15th July 2011 provides opportunities for local school leavers who have completed their ‘O’ and ‘A’ levels or its equivalent to pursue higher education. For employees in the private sector, the Human Capacity Building Scheme in the Private Sector (PSTS) has been introduced to enable them to upgrade their academic qualifications and improve their professionalism so that they become more capable and more competitive in the labour market. In addition, through the Training and Employment Scheme (SLP), local school leavers will be given skills training and work experiences in various fields to enable them to enter the labour market more easily. Meanwhile, programmes under the In-Service Training for the public sector employees will also continue to be made available to ensure improvements in the quality of its workforce. 50 Buku RKN10 English.indd 50 12/8/12 11:22:45 AM IV) LIFELONG LEARNING EDUCATION Lifelong learning is the process of increasing the knowledge and skills of an individual in a continous manner, either in a formal or informal setting. This is very much in line with today’s world which is becoming more challenging and is constantly changing. In this respect, efforts to encourage the local population, particularly those in the labour force, to continue acquiring knowledge and upgrading their skills will be implemented to ensure a continuous increase in productivity, either in the public or private sectors. Some of the efforts that have been taken to encourage all levels of the population to continue their education outside the formal system include improving and increasing the provision of special classes for continuing education. Skills courses will also continue to be provided and expanded by various ministries and private institutions in order to produce competitive students and workforce, THRUST 1 as well as to increase opportunities for employment. V) ENTREPRENEURIAL EDUCATION EDUCATED AND HIGHLY SKILLED The government will further consolidate its efforts and activities to enhance knowledge and management skills in the field of enterprise and entrepreneurship. One of the efforts implemented recently in 2012 is the POPULATION integration of entrepreneurial education as part of the school curriculum through the Business, Arts and Technology (BAT) subjects provided in Year 7 and Year 8. This effort is in line with SPN21 and the Brunei Entrepreneurial Education Scheme (BEES) for youths. The introduction of entrepreneurial education at an early stage is expected to help stimulate, educate and nurture students to be more attracted to, and understand, the concept and practice of entrepreneurship. It is hoped that such efforts will change the mind-set of the society, especially the youths, not to depend on the government for employment and to have the confidence and capability to start and manage their own enterprises. Other initiatives that have been carried out to improve knowledge and skills of entrepreneurship include the ‘Program Penempatan Membentuk Rebung Keusahawanan’ (Entrepreneurship Placement Programme) implemented by the Ministry of Industry and Primary Resources, and the setting up of the Business School. The private sector is also providing entrepreneurial training programmes such as the LiveWire programme which has been on-going since 2001 and is funded entirely by the Brunei Shell Petroleum Company Sdn Bhd. 51 Buku RKN10 English.indd 51 12/8/12 11:22:45 AM In addition, the Brunei Economic Development Board (BEDB) is also actively developing and implementing various programmes to encourage positive growth and development of entrepreneurship in the country. Among the activities that they have implemented are “THiNK BIG Ignite”, “THiNK BIG Innovate”, CIO Exchange and a Mentorship Programme. VI) SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION As Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) is an important foundation in shaping educated, highly skilled and innovative society, the government has allocated a special fund known as the Research and Development Fund (R&D Fund) to encourage research activities in various fields. In particular, priority is given to research activities with a high commercial value and several niche clusters have been identified for further development, namely Research Sciences, Engineering, Technology and Innovation; Arts and Culture; and THRUST 1 Social Sciences. To ensure that STI can be practiced as early as possible, the learning environment fostered through SPN21 will provide opportunities for young EDUCATED AND HIGHLY SKILLED students to showcase innovative thinking through stimulating ideas and discussions. Computer Science will also be given more emphasis as one of the subjects at the secondary level, specifically to support the Science, Technology, Environment Partnership (STEP) initiative under the Ministry of Education. POPULATION With regard to institutions of higher learning, one of their challenges is to increase and focus more of their resources to Research and Development activities. To address this, local higher learning institutions are encouraged to have closer collaboration with the private sector as well as foreign institutions to conduct and undertake more research activities. VII) PRIVATE SECTOR INVOLVEMENT One of the policy directions that have been underlined in the Wawasan Brunei 2035 is “to increase expertise and skills which are needed for business sectors and industries through investments in education institutions, research and development and through co-operation with business enterprises”. This policy direction, among others, serves as an action plan towards encouraging and increasing the involvement of the private sector in developing the education sector, including in the technical and vocational fields. The private sector is encouraged to give their utmost support through increasing their capacity to accommodate the rising number of students every year. Until now, there are 115 private institutions that have been established encompassing all levels of education from kindergarten or pre-school to the highest level. 52 Buku RKN10 English.indd 52 12/8/12 11:22:45 AM The government will also continue its efforts to widen the role of the private sector in the provision of educational services. This includes the BPTV Scheme, PSTS Scheme, and Training and Employment Scheme which will enable the private sector to further expand their involvement in the education services sector. Aside from the active involvement of the local private sector in education, the government also welcomes greater collaboration from international institutions abroad to invest and establish their institutions in this country, and not only offering twinning programmes in existing local institutions. Opening such opportunities will certainly create a huge impact on enhancing the population’s productivity level and thus to the nation’s economy. CONCLUSION THRUST 1 The government will continue its efforts to implement policies that can create a well-educated and highly skilled population, which is key to the development of a sustainable economy. The government also encourages strong private EDUCATED AND HIGHLY SKILLED sector involvement and contribution towards such efforts. Through all of this, the population will be nurtured from an early stage to become part of a society that is visionary, positive minded, dedicated, well POPULATION educated, highly skilled, innovative as well as productive. New approaches and programmes need to be explored and prepared, not only by the government but also through close collaboration with, and with integrated efforts from, various agencies to provide learning facilities, the use of research activities and technological advances in generating high and sustainable productivity as well as an economy that is based on knowledge. The factors outlined herein aim to prepare the nation in facing future development challenges. It will also enable the country to grow and develop at par with regional and global economies which are constantly becoming more competitive and are fast advancing. 53 Buku RKN10 English.indd 53 12/8/12 11:22:45 AM Buku RKN10 English.indd 54 12/8/12 11:22:48 AM Tenth National Development Plan (2012-2017) Thrust High Quality of 2 Life 55 Buku RKN10 English.indd 55 12/8/12 11:22:49 AM BACKGROUND The people of Brunei Darussalam aspire to enjoy a high quality of life by the year 2035, and to be ranked among the top ten nations in the world according to the United Nations Human Development (UNDP) Index. This high quality of life encompasses self-development, a healthy lifestyle, and access to knowledge and support facilities that fulfill the requirements of achieving social well-being in line with the national development objectives. In other words, a high quality of life encompasses economic development as well as the development of other aspects such as social, cultural, political and environment. FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO THRUST 2 The seven factors outlined below have been identified as contributing to the achievement of a high quality of life. I) SUSTAINABLE AND INCLUSIVE DEVELOPMENT THRUST 2 Sustainable development is defined as continuous development which is not affected by economic crises such as unmanageable inflation, high unemployment rates and a deficit level that threatens economic stability. It is HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE also considered as development which balances economic development with social and environmental needs. Inclusive development is one that can be enjoyed by all members of the society, without any exceptions. This would include women, youths, senior citizens, children, the underprivileged and special needs groups, both in rural and urban areas. In attaining a sustainable economy, the government will continue to ensure that there is rapid economic growth by enhancing foreign direct investment and economic diversification efforts. With such growth, the quality of life of the people can be improved through the increase in per capita income. To further ensure inclusive development, the government will continue to adopt various measures to increase the level of economic participation of all levels of society. In enhancing the participation of women in the workforce, for example, changes to the period of maternity entitlement leave from 56 days to 105 days have already been implemented. 56 Buku RKN10 English.indd 56 12/8/12 11:22:49 AM To enhance the capabilities of our younger generation in preparing themselves for the working world, various training courses for skills development will continue to be provided. Senior citizens in the country will also be given continuous assistance by the government, in terms of monetary and specialised services. One of the initiatives which was implemented in January 2012 was the alignment of the day in paying old-aged pension with payment of the monthly salary of the civil service. The special needs group is also given assistance by the government to enable them to be independent and live harmoniously within the society. The government also encourages the participation of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in assisting this group. As an incentive, special assistance in terms of land sites provision will be given to the NGOs by the government. II) QUALITY AND SUFFICIENT HOUSING Various national housing schemes will continue to be implemented in order to fulfill the increasing demand for houses and to provide adequate housing. Towards this end, RKN10 will continue to give priority to more expedient THRUST 2 construction of houses. To date, a total of 10,760 applicants are still on the waiting list and 20,000 new applications are expected to be submitted by 2017. HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE In addition to expediting the construction of houses, emphasis will also be given to sustainable and optimal methods of construction, in terms of land utilisation, costs and the provision of government subsidies. Furthermore, taking into account the increasing demand for housing and the limited availability of housing sites, the government will give priority to houses built using the vertical housing concept. At the end of 2011, the government introduced the vertical housing concept at the Lambak Kanan Housing Scheme. III) COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH AND MEDICAL SERVICES To address challenges in the medical and health sectors, such as increasing health expenditure, the government has prepared five new thematic strategies as outlined in the Ministry of Health’s Vision 2035 Health Strategy Book. These are i) A comprehensive healthcare system that emphasises service excellence; ii) A nation that embraces and practises a healthy lifestyle; iii) Sustainability through resource optimisation, innovation and excellence; iv) Effective policies and regulations that ensure protection for all; and v) Transparent and proactive governance. 57 Buku RKN10 English.indd 57 12/8/12 11:22:49 AM These strategies were formulated to ensure that the people in this country will remain healthy and will be able to contribute to the development of the country. In RKN10, focus is given to enhancing public awareness on cleanliness and healthcare and on practicing the concept of ‘prevention is better than cure’. The public will also be urged to practise a healthy lifestyle by emphasising a healthy and balanced diet, maintaining cleanliness and involving in physical activities. To ensure that infectious or non-infectious diseases and chronic diseases are dealed effectively, the government will continue to provide the required facilities for appropriate treatment and increase the use of new technologies. In improving health quality and management, the skills and expertise of the human resources in the health sector will be further strengthened and improved. The local health workforce will continue to be given opportunities to pursue training at various levels, particularly at the specialist level, both locally and abroad. THRUST 2 To support the aspiration of providing comprehensive and easily accessible health services, the government will continue to upgrade the infrastructure HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE and facilities at existing hospitals and clinics. In addition, the construction and provision of new infrastructure and facilities will be implemented to fulfil current and immediate needs. The government will also continue to encourage greater involvement of the private sector in the provision of health and medical services particularly in sectors such as dentistry, optometry and others. This is to reduce overcrowding at government hospitals as well as to provide more options to the public. 58 Buku RKN10 English.indd 58 12/8/12 11:22:49 AM IV) CLEAN AND HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT The provision of a healthy and clean environment will be further enhanced. This includes a more efficient use of national resources, the provision and enforcement of relevant legislations, effective solid waste management and assuring our national commitments are in line with international best practices. The formulation of a legal framework related to the environment that includes environmental impact assessments, environmental pollution control and hazardous chemical waste control is expected to be completed in 2012. A feasibility study for the construction of a waste treatment and disposal centre for hazardous chemicals is expected to THRUST 2 be completed too in the same year. To ensure the effectiveness of solid waste management, efforts such as an HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE integrated waste management system in Sungai Akar and an engineered landfill disposal site in Sungai Paku, Tutong have been implemented. In addition, measures will also be focused towards waste reduction by increasing recycling rates relative to the production of waste from about 5 per cent to 10 per cent by 2015. The management of toxic and hazardous wastes from government and private sectors using the incineration method will also be reviewed. In ensuring good air and water quality in Brunei Darussalam, the existing monitoring systems and quality management frameworks will be upgraded. This includes a more effective detection of air and water pollution levels and an enhancement in the enforcement of related laws based on public complaints. In addition, towards reducing the country’s carbon footprint, a feasibility study for an Integrated Transport System will also be conducted. Brunei Darussalam will continue to preserve its status as a country with the world’s most extensively protected tropical rainforest by ensuring that corrective measures and rehabilitation of forests will continue to be implemented. 59 Buku RKN10 English.indd 59 12/8/12 11:22:50 AM Apart from the government, the private sector, NGOs and the general public are also encouraged to play a role in ensuring that the environment is protected. Cooperation with international organisations will also be enhanced in order to get the best practices to ensure for a protected environment. V) PUBLIC SECURITY To ensure the public’s safety and well-being, the government through the relevant agencies will intensify efforts to safeguard and protect its people from any threat and natural disasters such as landslides, floods and others. One of the government’s efforts in managing the effects of natural disasters is the establishment of the National Disaster Management Centre (NDMC) which has the responsibility in taking prompt and effective actions against any disasters. In addition, the government has also carried out strategic preparations, such as the installation of a sophisticated weather forecasting system and radar resolution technology, which are expected to be completed in 2012 and which will enhance the capacity of weather monitoring and warning dissemination. In this era of globalisation, one of the threats faced by the nation is social THRUST 2 problems among teenagers. In an attempt to address this issue, the government will continue to inculcate early awareness among the youths on the values of the national philosophy, culture and conduct based on the Malay Islamic Monarchy. The National Youth Service (PKBN) and the provision of youth HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE development programmes are some of the measures that have been initiated by the government. As time changes and the technological advancements, the government will continue to strengthen its security-related agencies such as the Royal Brunei Armed Forces, the Royal Brunei Police Force and other intelligence agencies so as to enhance their professionalism and to adequately provide staff with training and expertise in latest technologies. The government will continue to ensure public involvement in assisting the authorities at the national level to combat crime and other threats. Meanwhile, closer cooperation at the regional and international level will continue to be improved in order to ensure safety, peace, stability and prosperity of the nation as a whole can be achieved. 60 Buku RKN10 English.indd 60 12/8/12 11:22:50 AM VI) ACCESS TO BASIC AMENITIES: WATER, ELETRICITY, COMMUNICATION AND TRANSPORT In order to achieve a high quality of life, the government will provide access VI) to public ACCESS facilities TO BASIC such asWATER, AMENITIES: water ELETRICITY, and electricity, as well as transport COMMUNICATION AND TRANSPORT and communication.

Even though 99.9 per cent of the country has now been supplied with clean water, the government will continue to implement various efforts to ensure the level and quality of the water supply is sufficient to meet demands of national development, particularly with the increasing population and industrial development. These efforts include increasing the capacity of water resource and treated water, enhancing the sustainability of water supply network, reducing unaccounted for water (UFW), identifying new water catchment areas and encouraging water conservation. To ensure that the transport and communication sectors contribute to the quality of life, various measures will continue to be implemented by the government. These include the construction and upgrading of roads such as the construction of an 18.6 kilometre road in the Telisai-Lumut area which will be completed in 2013 and the construction of interchanges at identified areas; upgrading of the Brunei International Airport and enhancement of broad band infrastructure. In order to increase the usage of public transport services, all aspects of public transportation such as connectivity, efficiency and service standard will be improved. 61 Buku RKN10 English.indd 61 12/8/12 11:22:50 AM VII) CULTURAL, SPORTS, LEISURE AND RECREATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE While ensuring rapid economic growth, the aspects of socio-culture, customs, and national heritage will also be continuously preserved and sustained. The provision of cultural infrastructure that aim to exhibit the culture and heritage of Brunei Darussalam will continue to be improved. The government will also continue to provide facilities and assistance to support the production of local products including art and handicrafts, not only for the domestic market but also internationally. The provision of sports and recreational infrastructure aims to promote a healthy lifestyle, as well as to foster closer relations within the society. Efforts have been undertaken to improve the existing infrastructure and to provide additional sports facilities. This will be a catalyst for the country to excel in competitions at the national, regional and international levels. In order to assist the government in enhancing cultural, sports, leisure and recreational activities, the involvement and contribution of the private sector in the provision of such infrastructures will continue to be encouraged. THRUST 2 CONCLUSION The government will continue its efforts to improve the quality of life of the HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE citizens in this country. Therefore, the seven factors will help to contribute to the development of knowledge and innovation, increased productivity and accelerate economic growth. A harmonious, comfortable and peaceful living environment will enable us to achieve the desired economic development. The government also encourages the private sector to contribute in these efforts. The involvement of all parties will thus help accelerate the achievement of the targeted economic growth rate. This is in line with one of the Wawasan Brunei 2035 goals which is to have a high quality of life. 62 Buku RKN10 English.indd 62 12/8/12 11:22:51 AM THRUST 2 HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE 63 Buku RKN10 English.indd 63 12/8/12 11:22:52 AM Buku RKN10 English.indd 64 12/8/12 11:22:53 AM Tenth National Development Plan (2012-2017) Thrust Conducive Business 3 Environment 65 Buku RKN10 English.indd 65 12/8/12 11:22:54 AM BACKGROUND An important factor to generate economic growth is the provision of a conducive business environment to investors. A conducive business environment is a situation in which all business transactions can be undertaken easily and quickly. It also acts as a catalyst for private sector development. Not only that it facilitate local investments, it also helps attract investments from abroad. The government through relevant agencies will continue to emphasise on aspects such as; the process to start a business, strengthen the capacity and capability of businesses and protect of copyrights and intellectual property rights. FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO THRUST 3 The following three factors have been identified to help create a conducive business environment. I) FASTER AND EASIER PROCESS OF STARTING A BUSINESS Although the annual report of the International Financial Corporation (IFC) and the ninth series of the World Bank’s “Doing Business 2012: Doing Business in a more transparent world” showed that the country’s overall ranking has THRUST 3 improved, performance in some areas has actually declined. The overall rank in the Ease of Doing Business improved from 112 in 2011 to 83 in 2012. However, the country’s rankings in categories such as starting a business, CONDUCIVE BUSINESS business permits and investor protection have declined. Expediting the process to start a business is an important element in private ENVIRONMENT sector development. In this respect, the government through the relevant agencies will ensure that processes and procedures to start a business will continue to be simplified and speeded up. The introduction of the Online Business Licensing System is one example of the government’s efforts to ease the process of starting a business in the country. The establishment of the Ease of Doing Business Committee is also an evidence of the government’s commitment to continue to provide an environment conducive to local and foreign investors. The government has also established the Authority of Building and Construction Industry (ABCi) which has the role of coordinating and processing applications for building and land development for residential, commercial and industrial purposes. All these efforts are made to help simplify and accelerate the process of providing services to the public in general; and also to businessmen and foreign investors, in particular. 66 Buku RKN10 English.indd 66 12/8/12 11:22:54 AM II) FIRM CAPACITY AND CAPABILITIES OF BUSINESSES Another aspect that can generate a conducive business environment is the improving and strengthening of the capacity and capability of entrepreneurs and businesses to expand and later penetrate the international market. In addition to that, it can help entrepreneurs to be more competitive, productive, creative and innovative in their business and also in marketing their products or services. These will eventually enable them to grow from small to medium, to become exporters that have the courage to expand overseas. Conducting workshops, courses and entrepreneurship training are some of the examples of several efforts made to increase the capacity and capability of local businesses in the country. These training and courses can help entrepreneurs to become more knowledgeable, efficient and effective especially in management strategy, finance and marketing, as well as strengthening the governance and knowledge in business laws. All of these can give competitive edge to entrepreneurs to thrive in a competitive business environment. Furthermore, relevant assistance will continue to be provided in the form of industrial sites, communication infrastructure including broadband, financial facilities and tax incentives to both new and existing businesses, especially for those who venture into creative and innovative fields. The provision of grants schemes under the Local Enterprise Applications and Products Programmes THRUST 3 (LEAP) to new and prospective businesses by the Brunei Economic Development Board (BEDB) and the Authority for Info-Communications Technology Industry of Brunei Darussalam (AITI) represent some of the government’s efforts to CONDUCIVE BUSINESS help local entrepreneurs strengthen their competency in businesses in order to be on par with foreign entrepreneurs. Additional financial assistance is also provided by the government such as ‘The Future Fund’ for new ICT ENVIRONMENT companies. III) PROTECTION OF COPYRIGHTS AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS The protection of copyrights and intellectual property rights is the foundation towards the development of a creative and innovative economy. It can foster confidence among local innovators and foreign investors to create products or carry out quality research which can be commercialised, both locally and overseas. Research and innovation are one of the factors that can help increase productivity among businesses in the country and help attract foreign direct investment. In this regard, a law on patent has been enforced on 1st January 2012 with the objective of strengthening intellectual property rights in the country. 67 Buku RKN10 English.indd 67 12/8/12 11:22:54 AM This is in line with the RKN10 objective to develop the private sector in the country and also to diversify economic activities based on research and innovation. Procedures including existing laws will continue to be reviewed from time to time to ensure that they are more business-friendly that help facilitate and expedite the process of starting a business. CONCLUSION Strengthening the private sector including the small and medium enterprises is important in order to accelerate economic growth. This move will help the current and existing initiatives to attract foreign investors. Hence, it is important to focus on efforts to improve the country’s position or ranking in the Ease of Doing Business index. Furthermore, various programmes including business management courses and financial assistance will continue to be provided to potential entrepreneurs and businesses. The utilisation of the latest technology will also be encouraged. Other than that, copyrights and intellectual property rights will be protected and respected so that foreign investments and research activities will continue to grow in the country. THRUST 3 CONDUCIVE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT 68 Buku RKN10 English.indd 68 12/8/12 11:22:54 AM THRUST 3 CONDUCIVE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT 69 Buku RKN10 English.indd 69 12/8/12 11:22:55 AM Buku RKN10 English.indd 70 12/8/12 11:22:57 AM Tenth National Development Plan (2012-2017) Productive and Thrust Progressive Economy Based 4 on Knowledge and d Innovation 71 Buku RKN10 English.indd 71 12/8/12 11:22:58 AM BACKGROUND Knowledge and innovation will be the foundation for continuous improvement in productivity for generating economic growth and national development. Knowledge and innovation will be part of the strategic mechanisms that will help the country to accomplish economic diversification. Substantive knowledge and innovation will help mould human resources that are educated, knowledgeable and highly skilled, which in turn will facilitate the nation’s efforts to attract foreign investors, particularly for developing high technology industries. Increase in productivity will also help to reducing costs, produce a high quality of work and multiply, as well as diversify, the outcomes in terms of manufacturing and services, which may in turn directly contribute to national economic growth. FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO THRUST 4 The five factors outlined below are among those that can help to create a productive and progressive economy based on knowledge and innovation. I) KNOWLEDGE BASED INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES THRUST 4 A faster transition to a knowledge-based economy or k-economy will be supported by the presence of a complete knowledge eco-system and info- structure. To accelerate knowledge-intensive activities, the quality of knowledge PRODUCTIVE AND PROGRESSIVE ECONOMY info-structure networks in the country will be upgraded so that they are at par with services provided in knowledge-advanced countries. For example, broadband services will also be provided to ensure readiness, accessibility and ability to fulfil the requirements needed by a k-community. BASED ON KNOWLEDGE AND INNOVATION In addition, the efficiency of the intellectual property rights (IPR) management system will be continuously enhanced by reviewing existing acts and legislations, and drafting new ones. An effective strategy will be formed in order to acquire intellectual property and global expertise through the international intelligent network. The Patent Order which came into effect on 1st January 2012 is intended not only to provide copyright protection but also acts as a national policy commitment by the government in providing a conducive environment for innovation. Apart from that, BEDB through the iCentre, will further encourage local and foreign ICT entrepreneurs to set up and expand their businesses in Brunei Darussalam. Such continuous interaction between local and foreign talents will definitely help promote better vibrancy in the ICT industry. Furthermore, through its mentorship and networking programmes, the iCentre provides its incubatees not only with access to professional advices but also connections to potential partners and clients, both locally and internationally. 72 Buku RKN10 English.indd 72 12/8/12 11:22:58 AM II) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (R&D) THAT HAVE Brunei Darussalam.

To accomplish the desired entrepreneurial development, RKN10 will ensure that local entrepreneurs are able to penetrate international markets through advancement in entrepreneurial training and counselling. Emphasis will also be given to mentoring entrepreneurs in creating strategic business plans which include basic aspects of management and marketing. To open up entrepreneurial opportunities, while at the same time promoting greater economic diversification, the government has identified several industrial clusters. The major industrial clusters which possess development potential include manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, food and food ingredients, alternative energy, ICT, support services (logistic and oil support services), and new technologies. The entrepreneurship development programme, therefore, is intended to enable THRUST 4 local businesses to expand and enter the overseas market. This includes the Local Enterprise Applications and Products (LEAP) programme which provides financial assistance for the development of new products and applications that have innovative technology as well as commercial and export potential. PRODUCTIVE AND PROGRESSIVE ECONOMY In the field of ICT, the Authority for Info-Communications Technology Industry of Brunei Darussalam (AITI) has conducted robust ICT basic skills courses through the ICT Competency Programme which aims to develop a dynamic, innovative, and vibrant ICT industry. The AITI Grant Scheme has also been BASED ON KNOWLEDGE AND INNOVATION introduced to local ICT companies particularly for the development of ICT skills and software applications. RKN10 has also provided a special fund for the development of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to assist efforts to develop SMEs in this country. 74 Buku RKN10 English.indd 74 12/8/12 11:22:59 AM V) INVESTMENTS AND EXPORTS IN NON-OIL SECTORS Additionally, a non-oil industrial development strategy will be implemented to widen opportunities for local SMEs. This strategy will also encourage, and train, more Malay citizens to become industry and business leaders. Efforts in producing high quality and safe products according to international standards will be continuously supported to enable these entrepreneurs to penetrate international markets. This includes producing products which have niche markets, in particular the premium halal food. Similarly, private sector investments in downstream activities, R&D and marketing strategies will also be enhanced. CONCLUSION Higher and faster levels of economic growth and generation will be achievable through increasing productivity in all sectors of the economy. Efforts to increase productivity will need to be spearheaded by knowledge and innovation. A speedier and higher level of economic growth is required to generate employment opportunities, assist the development of SMEs, as well THRUST 4 as to increase the country’s income. The government will continue to promote non-oil and gas industries and businesses and the development of knowledge- based industries will be the focused of RKN10. It is hoped that these efforts will further help the government in successfully diversifying the country’s PRODUCTIVE AND PROGRESSIVE ECONOMY economy. BASED ON KNOWLEDGE AND INNOVATION 75 Buku RKN10 English.indd 75 12/8/12 11:22:59 AM Buku RKN10 English.indd 76 12/8/12 11:23:00 AM Tenth National Development Plan (2012-2017) Thrust Good Governance e and Government 5 Modernisation 77 Buku RKN10 English.indd 77 12/8/12 11:23:01 AM BACKGROUND In order to achieve the Wawasan Brunei 2035 goals, the Institutional Development Strategy has been outlined under the Outline of Strategies and Policies for Development (OSPD) 2007-2017 to ensure that government institutions maintain high standards of good governance in the public and private sectors. Among those outlined in the strategy include building a modern and effective civil service that facilitates national development; streamlining government procedures and regulations to enable prompt decision-making; providing high quality public services; and minimising red-tape. All of these can help in increasing productivity in the public and private sectors and, hence, contribute to the acceleration of economic growth. Transparency, accountability, responsiveness in carrying out the responsibilities entrusted, and provision of services between government agencies (G2G) and to the general public are among the principles or characteristics of good governance that need to be practised and emphasised. FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO THRUST 5 The three factors that can help establish good governance and government modernisation are outlined below. I) QUALITY PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE FACILITIES THRUST 5 The government will continue to provide the necessary infrastructure in accordance with current needs. This infrastructure will include the provision GOOD GOVERNANCE AND of info-communication technology (ICT) facilities and equipment in order to facilitate, streamline and enhance productivity of the workforce in the public sector. Such provision will improve the quality of work and services provided to the general public, in particular to the entrepreneurs and business owners who GOVERNMENT MODERNISATION are dealing with the government. One of the initiatives being implemented is the provision of online services such as e-Darussalam, e-Payment, e-Postcode, Online Business Registration, Online Business Licensing System, Government Employees Management System (GEMS), Treasury Accounting and Financial Information System (TAFIS), iLearn and e-Custom. As part of on-going effort to improve the effectiveness of the civil service in business dealings and investment dealings in the country, the government has also implemented several other initiatives. The setting up of the Ease of Doing Business Committee and the Authority of Building and Construction Industry (ABCi) are part of the initiatives carried out to integrate the functions 78 Buku RKN10 English.indd 78 12/8/12 11:23:01 AM and scope of work of several agencies, with the objective of simplifying and expediting the provision of services. II) PROFESSIONAL CIVIL SERVICE A professional civil service is the foundation of a productive and efficient workforce. In view of this, the emphasis on grooming high quality, efficient, transparent and committed civil servants with commendable work ethics will be continued in order to generate excellent and effective work and services. Efforts to enhance excellence in the government’s administrative machinery will focus on realising the 21st Century Civil Service Vision. Civil servants will be given continuous training in various fields, through courses and conferences, held locally and abroad. The instillation of Islamic values and spiritual aspects will also be inculcated and incorporated as part of efforts to strengthen the integrity of the civil service. III) LAWS AND REGULATIONS RELEVANT TO CURRENT NEEDS The government remains committed to ensure laws and regulations are appropriate and relevant to current needs. One of the ways this is achieved is through the enactment of new laws and the amendment of existing laws based on international best practices. Part of those efforts include the enactment and amendment of several acts and THRUST 5 regulations such as the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Order, 2011; the Patents Order, 2011; the Monetary Authority of Brunei Darussalam (AMBD) Order, 2010; the Employment Order, 2009; the Investment Incentives Order, 2001; the Miscellaneous Licences Act; and the Price Control Act. GOOD GOVERNANCE AND These efforts were undertaken with the purpose of not only modernising the government but also increasing productivity and efficiency in the public sector through the formulation of a regulatory framework that can streamline GOVERNMENT MODERNISATION work procedures and systems, particularly in the provision of services to the general public. 79 Buku RKN10 English.indd 79 12/8/12 11:23:01 AM CONCLUSION The civil service, together with the private sector, plays a significant role in accelerating the nation’s economic growth and socio-economic development. In this regard, continuing efforts will be carried out to ensure that the goals of good governance and government modernisation are met, namely the creation of a more efficient, productive, high-quality and modern civil service. These include efforts in providing sustainable infrastructure and public facilities, enhancing good work ethics and professionalism in the civil service, as well as reviewing and updating laws and regulations relevant to current needs. A close and integrated cooperation among government agencies and the private sector should also be strengthened in order to increase productivity and economic growth, while at the same time enabling the government to take heed of the needs of the private sector.

FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO THRUST 6 FAKTOR PENYUMBANG KEPADA TERAS 6 Below are the six factors that have been identified to help foster the development of high-quality and sustainable infrastructure for the country. Enam perkara di bawah ini adalah di antara faktor-faktor yang boleh membantu mewujudkan infrastruktur pembangunan yang berkualiti tinggi dan berdaya I) WATER tahan.

Selain itu, masalah kerosakan dan gangguan bekalan air serta banjir kilat dan pencemaran alam sekitar, yang menyebabkan aktiviti sosial dan ekonomi terjejas serta kerosakan harta benda dan kemalangan jiwa, akan terus ditangani dan dikawal. 84 Buku RKN10 English.indd 84 12/8/12 11:23:06 AM II) ELECTRICITY INFRASTRUCTURE Demand for electricity is expected to grow from year to year due to the increase in development activities such as industrial needs, the implementation of government housing projects and the construction of commercial buildings and private homes in this country. The government’s target for zero blackout can be achieved through the provision of a reliable electricity supply. This is also an important factor to attract foreign investors and to ensure the well- being of the population. At present, almost 99 per cent of the population in this country enjoys undisrupted electricity supply. To cope with the increasing demand of electricity and to save energy consumption, the utilisation of the combined cycle power plant will continue to take place in the years to come. The use of solar panels as one of the original energy-saving alternatives will also be implemented, as evidenced by the installation of 100 solar panels to 65 houses in Kampong Ayer. As a step towards energy conservation, the government has identified, and will continue to identify through research, on effective ways of energy use for the country. III) COMMUNICATIONS AND TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE Through RKN10, the government will continue to provide high quality and sustainable communication and transport infrastructure such as roads, ports and civil aviation. These include improving and upgrading roads throughout the country, widening of the airport runway, increasing the capacity of the Brunei International Airport and the Muara Port, upgrading the infastructure THRUST 6 of info-telecommunication technology (ICT), and improving the broadcasting system of television stations. The BSB Master Plan has been prepared with the objective of providing Bandar HIGH QUALITY DEVELOPMENT AND Seri Begawan with an efficient communication and transportation system. In addition, the ongoing construction of highways and the consideration for the construction of several flyovers and bridges are some of the other efforts undertaken to ensure users’ comfort and to reduce road congestions. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INFRASTRUCTURE The terminal modernisation and widening of the airport runway at the Brunei International Airport, as well as the expansion of the capacity of Muara Port, play important roles in supporting the tourism and distribution activities in the country. A modern and sophisticated infrastructure at the entrance of the country will be able to attract and provide further assurance to visitors and foreign investors. 85 Buku RKN10 English.indd 85 12/8/12 11:23:06 AM IV) INFO-COMMUNICATION NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE It is the intention of the country to build a sophisticated and reliable national network of info-communication infrastructure. The provision of a reliable info- communication network can connect us with the international community more quickly, regardless of place and time, thus making the society more connected and more efficient. An advanced network will not only help to provide for a conducive business environment but also attract foreign direct investment into other sectors besides info-communications. Despite achieving the 57th ranking in the world and the 11th ranking in Asia in the 2011 Network Readiness Index (NRI) Report, the government will continue to improve and enhance internet connectivity in homes and business premises through the use of fibre optics technology. Within the RKN10 period, the government will continue to implement the e-government initiatives in order to facilitate and expedite dealings between the public and the government. One of the initiatives that has been introduced by the Government is the e-Darussalam Portal that aims to integrate all e-government services online so that all parties can access information quickly and accurately. This will further contribute towards increasing productivity and ensure the delivery of more efficient of services. V) SUSTAINABLE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT One measure that can be adopted to save the use of energy, water and other resources is by constructing green buildings. This measure will also THRUST 6 lead to a healthier and cleaner environment. The practice of sustainable and environmentally-friendly growth and development will also help to balance socio-economic issues with those of the environment, particularly by making sure that such practices will be carried on by future generations. HIGH QUALITY DEVELOPMENT AND In order to protect and preserve a high quality and sustainable environment, various efforts have been taken such as the provision of environmentally- friendly infrastructure, technology and services. One of the more prominent efforts is the requirement that the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INFRASTRUCTURE conducted in the planning stage of any infrastructure development projects. 86 Buku RKN10 English.indd 86 12/8/12 11:23:06 AM Source: Bandar Seri Begawan Masterplan Source: Bandar Seri Begawan Masterplan VI)Government The INDUSTRIAL SITES will also continue to formulate and draft laws related THRUST 6 to environmental protection.

The government, in collaboration with the private sector and other interested parties, will make certain that the infrastructure provided can increase productivity and efficiency in the effort towards achieving a sustainable economic growth. Efforts to save energy and financial resources remain a priority and these include the use of new technology that can promote efficiency and minimise waste. Laws and regulations on environmental protection will also continue to be emphasised during the selection of new industrial sites.
