Overview Islamic Banking Takaful Islamic Securities Islamic Funds

Islamic finance plays a central role in shaping Brunei Darussalam’s financial services industry. Rooted in strong Islamic principles, Brunei aspires to establish itself as an international Islamic finance hub. In support of this vision, BDCB remains committed to fostering a resilient and dynamic financial sector, with Islamic finance identified as a key priority in its Financial Sector Blueprint (FSBP) 2016-2025.

Brunei’s Islamic finance journey began in 1991 with the establishment of its first Islamic financial institution. Over the past three decades, the sector has grown significantly, now encompassing a diverse range of institutions including an Islamic bank, an Islamic trust fund, a finance company, takaful operators, securities companies, and pawnbroking services.
