Overview

Pursuant to the establishment of the Competition Commission Brunei Darussalam (CCBD) on 1 August 2017, the Executive Secretariat of CCBD was also established to act as the administrative and investigative arms of the CCBD, in the implementation and enforcement of Competition Act, Chapter 253.

Previously, the Executive Secretariat of CCBD was under the Department of Competition and Consumer Affairs (now known as the Department of Consumer Affairs) under the Department of Economic Planning and Statistics within the Ministry of Finance and Economy.

Following the organizational restructuring in July 2022, the Executive Secretariat of CCBD has now been made into a Unit within the Ministry of Finance and Economy, under the Economy portfolio.
