Overview
Brunei Darussalam's exchange rate stood at 1.33 in 2025, a decline of +0.01 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 1.33 by 2025. Brunei Darussalam ranked 151st globally.
Brunei Darussalam's exchange rate has demonstrated a significant fluctuation over the past six decades, with a notable all-time peak of 3.06 in 1970, mirroring the country's substantial oil reserves and subsequent economic growth during that era. Conversely, the all-time trough of 1.25 in 2012 reflects the nation's efforts to diversify its economy and reduce its reliance on oil exports. As of 2025, Brunei Darussalam's exchange rate stands at 1.33, ranking 151 globally. This value is comparable to that of Canada, with which it shares a similar rank. The country's exchange rate has generally trended upwards, indicating a strengthening of the Brunei dollar against other major currencies. However, if global economic conditions were to shift significantly, or if Brunei were to experience a notable decline in oil prices, the trajectory of its exchange rate could be altered, potentially leading to a reevaluation of the country's economic strategy.
