BIBD’s support underlines its commitment to standing by the local community during times of hardship, forming part of its broader strategy to deliver meaningful and sustainable aid.

The initiative also highlights the bank’s dedication to empowering the people of Brunei, ensuring no one is left behind in times of need. – Borneo Bulletin/ANN
