The placing of energy under the direct authority of the Sultan, then the ministerial reshuffle of May 2022, marked the desire to better control the ministers in an increasingly changing international and energetic context, while redefining its security. The pandemic-induced economic crisis, which spared the Sultanate in 2020, hit it hard in 2021, resulting in the departure of some temporary workers. A sign of the times, the government has taken advantage of Brunei’s presidency of ASEAN to promote the creation of a regional Center for Climate Change, based in the Sultanate, and women occupy a growing place in the senior administration.
