History
Brunei, a small but enormously prosperous oil-rich sultanate on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia, is known for its extraordinary wealth per capita — a product of vast petroleum and natural gas reserves relative to its tiny population. This prosperity is reflected in the currency regime: the Brunei dollar (BND) has been maintained at exact parity with the Singapore dollar (SGD) since 1967 under the Currency Interchangeability Agreement between the two nations, giving Brunei's monetary system an unusual degree of stability.
Before independence and the modern currency system, Brunei used British Malayan dollars and later Malayan dollars during the colonial era. The Brunei dollar was introduced in 1967, when the currency union between Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei broke down. Brunei, Singapore, and Malaysia agreed to the Currency Interchangeability Agreement at that time, though Malaysia later withdrew. Brunei and Singapore have maintained the 1:1 parity ever since.
This arrangement means the Brunei dollar effectively shadows Singapore's managed float. Both currencies are freely interchangeable and accepted in both countries. The Monetary Authority of Brunei Darussalam (AMBD, established 2011) oversees the financial system, while the Brunei Currency and Monetary Board manages note issuance.
Brunei's economy, financed almost entirely by oil and gas revenues, has made the country one of the highest income per capita nations in Asia. The Brunei Investment Agency manages the country's sovereign wealth, invested abroad to fund future generations.
