BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, March 18 (Xinhua) -- Bruneians have been urged to play a more active role in supporting the local economy by shopping locally, purchasing domestic products, and using local business services, a government minister said on Tuesday.
Speaking at a Legislative Council meeting, Mohd Amin Liew Abdullah, minister at the Prime Minister's Office and second minister of finance and economy, said such efforts are vital in strengthening the country's economic foundation.
The minister noted that increased support for local businesses would enable them to reinvest, expand their operations and improve productivity. This, in turn, would create more job opportunities for Bruneians.
He emphasized that a thriving domestic business environment depends significantly on consumer behavior and spending patterns within the country. ■
