Brunei is heavily reliant on oil and natural gas revenues, but these resources will be depleted within 30 years. To diversify its economy, Brunei is pursuing plans to become a financial hub and develop other industries. This includes attracting foreign direct investment, strengthening financial reserves and infrastructure, improving human capital, establishing an independent regulatory authority, and positioning itself as an Islamic finance hub for energy-related financial services.
Brunei is a small country located on the northern coast of the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. It was once a powerful sultanate but went into decline due to internal conflicts and European colonial expansion. Brunei gained independence from Britain in 1984. The country has a population of around 400,000 and its economy is dominated by oil and natural gas production and exports, which account for over 90% of its GDP. Brunei has a monarchy form of government led by the Sultan, who acts as both head of state and head of government.
This report provides a summary and analysis of global Sukuk issuances in 2015. Some key findings include:
- Global Sukuk issuances declined 40% year-over-year to $61 billion in 2015, largely due to Malaysia discontinuing short-term Sukuk issuances.
- Sovereign, quasi-sovereign and corporate Sukuk issuances from other regions grew steadily, with longer tenors up to 30 years issued.
- New jurisdictions continue to open up to Islamic finance and issue Sukuk, while established markets expand issuances.

Financial crisis, bank behaviour and credit crunchFINALIANCE
This document provides an introduction and overview of the book "Financial Crisis, Bank Behaviour and Credit Crunch" edited by Stefania P.S. Rossi and Roberto Malavasi. It discusses the origins and evolution of the global financial crisis, examines bank behavior and regulatory reforms in response to the crisis, analyzes the effects of bank regulation on lending and performance, and investigates regional credit issues. The introduction sets the stage by describing the financial crisis, interventions to support markets, and the resulting European sovereign debt crisis. It outlines the four parts of the book which cover the genesis and evolution of the crisis, bank opportunistic behavior and reforms, bank regulation and credit access, and regional credit crunch issues.
This document discusses the ethical relevance of the banking industry. It argues that before the financial crisis, banks assumed their business was ethically irrelevant and only concerned with maximizing shareholder value. However, the financial system is prone to irrational behaviors like herding and contagion that undermine this view. The crisis showed that creating complex financial products like CDOs without understanding the real risks was unwise. While the financial economy has commercial freedom, its role in creating money gives it greater ethical responsibility than other industries. Banks must view their work soberly and avoid letting imaginary values cloud realistic assessments.
