The Ministry of Finance and Economy (MoFE; Malay: Kementerian Kewangan dan Ekonomi) is a cabinet-level ministry in the government of Brunei which is responsible for the monetary, fiscal and economic policies and development in the country. It was established immediately upon Brunei's independence on 1 January 1984.[1] It is currently led by a minister in which the incumbent is Hassanal Bolkiah, the Sultan of Brunei, as well as a second minister and two deputy ministers.
Departments
[edit]The ministry oversees the following departments:[5]
- Treasury Department (Pejabat Treasury) — obeys the law known as "The 1983 Financial Regulation". The rule also makes reference to later official circulars from MoFE and the Prime Minister's Office;
- Royal Customs and Excise Department (Jabatan Kastam dan Eksais Diraja; RCED) — leading organisation for the Ease of Doing Business (EODB) indicator Trading Across Borders (TAB);
- Department of Economic Planning and Statistics (Jabatan Perancangan Ekonomi dan Statistik; DEPS) — in line with Wawasan Brunei 2035, DEPD aims to foster Brunei's sustainable economic growth through visionary planning, innovative implementation involving all societal sectors, and the provision of high-quality, internationally-aligned statistics.
