Brunei Darussalam Central Bank launched National Financial Literacy Day 2026, a three-day program focused on improving financial knowledge, responsible financial behavior and financial well-being. The central bank highlighted that while more than 80% of Brunei Darussalam’s population has access to formal financial services, greater access must be supported by stronger financial literacy and responsible financial habits. The National Financial Literacy Survey 2026 recorded a digital financial literacy score of 43%, indicating a need to improve consumers’ ability to use digital financial services confidently and safely. The central bank is also contributing to the ASEAN Digital Financial Literacy Competency Framework, while activities running through Sept. 4 include a public financial awareness roadshow and talks for government agencies, government-linked companies and higher education institutions.
