The US-Brunei Committee is the leading policy advocacy group and preeminent platform for US businesses to explore commercial and investment opportunities in Brunei.

 

The Council has an enduring relationship with Brunei’s key decision makers and can provide inroads and strategic advice for US businesses seeking to participate in the development of Brunei’s economic future. Through our exclusive programs such as the annual Senior Executives Business Mission to Bandar Seri Begawan, the Council consistently develops and strengthens avenues of bilateral cooperation in a public-private framework.

 

With Brunei recognized as the world’s most stable economy by the World Economic Forum (GCI 2010/11), the US-Brunei Committee is committed to facilitating an innovative and collaborative ecosystem to build upon Brunei strengths and achieve its potential on its transition from its production-based economy to a knowledge-based economy.

 

The US-Brunei Committee aims to:

 

  • Elevate the level of focus of Brunei in the US business community as a trade and investment destination, particularly through Brunei’s participation in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
  • Sustain engagement with the Ministry of Energy on increasing upstream and downstream growth as well as maximizing economic spin-offs in the oil and gas industry.
  • Collaborate with the Brunei Economic Development Board (BEDB) and Ministry of Industry and Primary Resources (MIPR) to promote private sector activity and engagement in support of Brunei’s economic diversification efforts towards Wawasan Brunei 2035.
  • Strengthen business-to-business (B2B) relationships between the US and Brunei business communities to create new markets and facilitate cross-border investment opportunities.
  • Support Brunei’s formulation of its grand strategy in regional economic, energy, and business affairs for its chairmanship of ASEAN in 2013.
