QUOTE(Artus @ May 2 2014, 02:39 PM) When economy is in trouble, currency devaluation is the price to pay to get back up again. It's a good tool anyway. Countries that don't have this tool (example: Greece and Brunei) would have to suffer for a considerably longer time compared to countries that control over their own currencies (example: Thailand and Malaysia). things hapend to negara brunei will hapend to pengeluar minyak lain? |

QUOTE(Artus @ May 2 2014, 02:32 PM) If Brunei change the pegging from Singapore dollar to the Malaysian ringgit then, in theory,it would benefit Sarawak and Sabah because trade between Singapore and Brunei would go down due to currency conversion costs between Singapore dollar and Brunei dollar. what benefit?so brunei will import from sabah and sarawak? sabah and sarawak have what? what I know Singapore will find it cheaper to import from Brunei |

QUOTE(rivost @ May 2 2014, 02:08 PM) pb is nothing? they are awarded the block despite not having the technical expertise. either dependent on petronas or project stuck. Are you in Brunei?that is the thing, shell has good motivation to stay but no longer so confident or determine to make big investment. this can also partly be attributed to brunei's political issue. therefore you have brunei's negative oil and gas stats now. the sultan will not change his stance i can tell you. This is where you have absolutely no idea how things are in Brunei. But it really doesn't matter, because even if you knew more, it won't change a thing. Due to confidentiality requirements. I can't divulge more than what I have shared. |

It's all about trade. If a merchant in Johor finds if cheaper to buy from Singapore than Kuala Lumpur, it would buy from Singapore. What are the considerations involved? Transportation costs and currency conversion costs. Sabah and Sarawak are nearer to Brunei than Singapore, so the transportation costs can be lower and with a lower currency conversion costs due to the pegging of the Brunei dollar to the Malaysian ringgit, then the change may benefit Sabah and Sarawak. The only problem standing in the way of better trade is our current cabotage policy.http://www.sapp.org.my/economy/110113_fmt_...tage_policy.asp |

Brunei mampus gua sikit pun tak kisah. I think the Sultan might migrate and leave elsewhere with his money.
