Market information

Brunei is a wealthy high-income country whose economy is largely based on oil and natural gas exports. Drawing from its significant oil and gas revenue, Brunei offers its citizens comprehensive healthcare, education and other public services. Due to its vulnerability to fluctuations in global energy prices, Brunei is striving to diversify its economy by investing in, among other things, the halal industry, financial services, digital economy and tourism. Despite efforts to attract foreign investment, Brunei's business environment has so far not attracted significant numbers of foreign companies into the country. Trade between Finland and Brunei is limited.

Finnish honorary consulates

Honorary consulates complement Finland’s network of missions abroad, which consists of embassies, consulates general, consulates and liaison offices. Honorary consuls are private individuals who carry out consular functions on a part-time basis without remuneration. An honorary consul can advise Finnish companies on how to get information on local business culture and find business partners, among other matters.
