Article Abstract:
Brunei, located on the island formerly known as Borneo, became an independent nation in January 1984. It is rich in oil and gas reserves. It has $27 billion in foreign investments. Only a fifth of the total population of 200,000 work. The government is promoting the development of technology-intensive export industries. Shell Oil Co. produces and sells all the oil and gas of Brunei. The British are no longer handling Brunei investment money. The government is now in charge of its own financial investments.
