The Central Bank of Brunei Darussalam has launched the Brunei Darussalam Sustainable Finance Roadmap, setting out a strategic guide for the financial sector to adopt and integrate sustainable finance, including climate adaptation and mitigation measures. The roadmap is positioned as a foundation for a just, orderly, whole-of-nation approach to implementation across the sector. The Sustainable Finance Roadmap is anchored on two objectives: supporting Brunei Darussalam’s sustainability agenda as set out in the Brunei Darussalam National Climate Change Policy, the Economic Blueprint for Brunei Darussalam and the Brunei Darussalam Financial Sector Blueprint, and supporting initiatives within the financial sector to address sustainability-related risks. The launch also highlighted the growing focus on environmental, social and governance considerations and the potential role of Islamic sustainable finance guided by Maqasid Al-Syariah, alongside BDCB’s regional work as Chair of the ASEAN Taxonomy Board since 2021, including the release of Versions 1–4 of the ASEAN Taxonomy.
