The Central Bank of Brunei Darussalam has commissioned the Centre for Strategic and Policy Studies (CSPS) to conduct the fourth National Financial Literacy Survey 2025, with fieldwork scheduled from 12 December 2025 to 12 February 2026. The study aims to provide an internationally comparable assessment of financial literacy and related outcomes, establish a national baseline, and track trends over time to support the design of financial education programmes, regulatory initiatives, and policy interventions linked to Brunei Vision 2035. Coverage includes financial knowledge, attitudes and behaviours, as well as digital financial literacy, financial inclusion, financial resilience, and financial well-being, with analysis by socio-demographic factors. Data will be collected via a nationwide face-to-face household survey of a statistically representative random sample of 1,800 households across all four districts, targeting adults aged 18 to 79, with interviews expected to last around 60 minutes. CSPS will deploy 60 trained interviewers using established protocols; interviewers will carry identification and wear CSPS vests, and selected households are encouraged to verify identities against the CSPS list. Information will be treated as confidential and used only for statistical and research purposes, with no collection of personally identifiable information such as names or identity card numbers.
