Brunei Darussalam

The Report: Brunei Darussalam 2008 book coverThe Sultanate of Brunei Darussalam, located on the northwest corner of Borneo in the South China Sea, is perhaps best known for its political stability and the rich supply of hydrocarbons that lie beneath its soil. However, the Sultanate is proving itself to be worth much more than oil, as the government makes a push for economic diversification, zeroing in on Islamic financial services and a well-educated population, among other things, as a path to sustainable growth.
