GDP (Gross Domestic Product): Brunei Darussalam

Analysis# Brunei Darussalam GDP (Gross Domestic Product) Brunei Darussalam's GDP stands at 16.457 USD billion in 2026, representing substantial growth from its 1985 baseline of 3.291 USD billion—a 240.7% increase over four decades.

The past decade reveals two distinct phases: decline from 2012 through 2020, when GDP fell to 12.006 USD billion, followed by recovery beginning in 2021. The recent upward trajectory accelerated sharply in 2022, reaching 16.682 USD billion. Though 2023 dipped slightly to 15.095 USD billion, subsequent years show stabilization and modest growth, with 2026 projections indicating continued expansion toward pre-decline levels.
