Through its five-year National Development Plans, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah's administration actively promotes the development of a number of key sectors in an effort to spur economic growth.[2] These describe the allocation of government funds and the budget designated for national development in several fields. As the first national development plan to be created in accordance with the goals of Brunei's recently unveiled long-term development plan, better known as Wawasan Brunei 2035 (English: Brunei Vision 2035),[3] the current 9th National Development Plan (2007–2012) represents a strategic shift in the planning and execution of development projects.[4] Given that Brunei's oil supplies are expected to run out in the near future, Wawasan directly confronts the issue of the country's dependence on gas.[5]
