PROSPECTIVE homeowners flocked to the Bank Islam Brunei Darussalam (BIBD) Home Showcase Festival yesterday, which featured not only home financing facilities, but also facilities catered towards other related segments and clients such as construction businesses, interior designers, and custom home furniture makers, among others.
The festival was part of BIBD’s one-stop platform to provide the public with exciting possibilities for their current and future homes, and meant to highlight the benefits of owning a home early. At the same time it also serves as an avenue to support local budding entrepreneurs by providing them the opportunity to showcase their products and services.
The event also included a panel discussion where a few home ownership experts talked about home ownership and financing, notably highlighting the benefits of early home ownership and the misconceptions involved in the complex application process.
The festival was officially launched by Deputy Minister of Development, Dato Seri Paduka Awang Haji Suhaimi bin Haji Gafar. Also in attendance were senior government officials from the Ministry of Development along with senior management and personnel from BIBD.
BIBD’s Head of Retail Banking, Hajah Nurul Akmar binti Haji Md Jaafar, highlighted during the launching ceremony that the event further strengthens BIBD’s commitment toward ensuring that its customers better understand the choices available to them when looking for home financing options as well as the benefits of early home ownership.
“We should take pride in being a homeowner as this also means that we know how to manage our own finances,” Hajah Nurul Akmar stated. “Today’s event seeks to also provide the community with opportunities to better improve the quality of their lives, not just in terms of house quality and design, but also financially. At the same time, we are also supporting local industries by raising their profiles with our customers. Insya-Allah, the Bruneian community will holistically benefit from this event.”
