Price Control
The Department is responsible for the
implementation of the Price Control Act, Chapter 142, as well as the
administrative implementation of the setting of maximum prices on
selected foods items during festive seasons. It hopes to protect the
welfare of consumers in Brunei Darussalam, especially the low-income
earners.
Monitoring of prices of price-controlled goods and a
selected number of basic necessity items is carried out by the Price
Inspectors through inspections on a regular basis involving business
premises such as supermarkets and grocery stores in all four
districts throughout the country. In addition, spot-checks are also
carried out on a random basis on business premises, as well as upon
receiving consumers' reports.
