Brunei Darussalam's insurance regulator, the Brunei Darussalam Central Bank (BDCB), has extended the period for conducting the Brunei Darussalam Financial Inclusion Demand-Side Survey 2025 to 30 April 2025.
The purpose of the survey is to measure the level of financial inclusion in Brunei Darussalam, identify gaps and barriers and improve access to financial products and services available in the country.
The survey aims to engage 2,600 individuals nationwide, representing a diverse cross-section of the population. Interviews will be conducted face-to-face and are expected to take no more than one hour to complete.
Questions will focus solely on financial behaviour, access, preferences and needs of individuals and households. BDCB and Universiti Teknologi Brunei (UTB) would like to assure participants that any information collected will be kept strictly confidential and used exclusively for the purpose of the survey.
UTB was commissioned by BDCB to conduct the survey. Interviewers appointed by UTB will reach out to selected individuals to schedule appointments to conduct the interviews and assist with completing the questionnaires.
The public is advised to verify the identity of interviewers by requesting their work pass issued by UTB before proceeding with the interview. In case of any doubts or concerns, the public is encouraged to contact UTB directly.
