KUALA LUMPUR, 28 February 2026 — Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said the 6.15% dividend declaration by the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) for both Conventional and Shariah savings for 2025 underscores the strength of the fund’s investment management and sustained public confidence in Malaysia’s national retirement savings system.

Earlier on Friday, EPF announced dividends of 6.15% for both Conventional and Shariah accounts, amounting to a total payout of RM79.6 billion.

“This achievement, despite challenging global market conditions, reflects the strength of EPF’s investment management and the continued confidence of the public in the national retirement savings system,” Anwar said in a post on his social media page.

Anwar, who also serves as Finance Minister, said the MADANI government welcomes the performance and remains committed to implementing sustainable policies aimed at driving economic growth and improving public well-being.

He added that such policies are intended to ensure every citizen can plan their future with greater confidence and dignity.
