THE achievement of the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) in maintaining a dividend rate of more than six per cent reflects the strength of the agency's management in facing the current global market challenges.

"Alhamdulillah, the EPF has declared a dividend of 6.15 per cent for Conventional and Shariah Savings for 2025 with a total distribution of RM79.6 billion.
"This achievement, despite the challenging global market conditions, reflects the strength of the EPF's investment management and the people's continued confidence in the country's retirement savings system," he said in a statement on Facebook today.
Anwar, who is also the Finance Minister, said the government welcomed the achievement and would continue to implement sustainable policies to drive economic growth and improve the well-being of the people.
According to him, such progressive actions are to ensure that every Malaysian is able to plan for the future with more confidence and dignity.
