Ease Of Doing Business: Brunei In 79th Place


Bandar Seri Begawan - Brunei Darussalam has moved up four places to 79th out of 185 countries in the "Ease of Doing Business 2013" index.

The Doing Business 2013 report, entitled "Smarter Regulations for Small and Medium-sized Enterprise", is the 10th edition of the annual report published by the World Bank and IFC, and has seen Brunei improve on last year's 83rd position.

The report also shows that the Sultanate has retained its fourth position among Asean member countries, behind Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

All the rankings in the report are based on the study of 10 indicators of business regulations that track time and costs for government requirements in business start-ups, operations, trade, taxation and closures.

According to a press release from the Ministry of Industry and Primary Resources (MIPR), reforms implemented under the "Dealing with Construction Permit" indicator are the major contributor to the country's overall ranking improvement this year.

These aforementioned reforms include the improvement of ABCi and the Bandar Seri Begawan Municipal Board's operational features with the introduction of risk-based and self-regulatory inspection system and general business processes, which moved the indicator ranking from 88 (adjusted DB2012 ranking) to 43.


The "Starting a Business" indicator has also shown improvement as it moved two ranks to 135. Despite the reform, however, the Paying Taxes indicator moved down by a position to 22 due to better performances by other countries.

In the "Getting Electricity" indicator, Brunei's rank has remained at 29, while under "Registering Property", Brunei has moved down two ranks from 113 to 115.

There has also been a slight drop under the "Getting Credit" indicator from 127 to 129, under the "Protecting Investors" indicator from 114 to 117, the "Trading Across Borders" indicator from 36 to 40 and the "Resolving Insolvency" indicator from 44 to 46.

In the press release, the Chairman of the Ease of Doing Business Steering Committee, Pehin Orang Kaya Seri Utama Dato Seri Setia Awang Haji Yahya bin Begawan Mudim Dato Paduka Haji Bakar, the Minister of Industry and Primary Resources, has welcomed the overall rank, improvement, but also stated that this year's rank is still not good enough.

The minister emphasised the need for more speedy and focused efforts to improve all government business processes if Brunei is to further improve her Doing Business ranking in the subsequent years.

This is because, as evident in the Doing Business report, reform initiatives among the participating countries are very extensive and fast.

The minister also went on to reiterate that the initiatives in the ease of doing business help improve efficiency and productivity in government services and would contribute towards the achievement of Brunei Vision 2035.

In this regard, Pehin Dato Awg Haji Yahya indicated that the steering committee is deliberating on new targets and catalytic strategies for Ease of Doing Business initiatives for Brunei that will also deal with addressing challenges such as the improvement of awareness of reforms activities among the private sectors and stakeholders.

The top 10 performers in this year's Doing Business report, in order of ranking, are Singapore, Hong Kong SAR, New Zealand, the United States, Denmark, Norway, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Korea, Georgia and Australia.

As for the performances of Asean nations this year, in order of ranking, they are: Singapore (1), Malaysia (12), Thailand (18), Brunei Darussalam (79), Indonesia (128), Cambodia (133), Philippines (138) and Lao PDR (163). ~ Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
