Brunei Darussalam Central Bank (BDCB) today published Brunei Darussalam’s Residential Property Price Index (RPPI) for the fourth quarter of 2025 (Q4 2025). The index is compiled using data sourced from banks in Brunei Darussalam, and is published with close cooperation from the Ministry of Development, in particular the Authority for Building Control and Construction Industry (ABCi).
