KUALA LUMPUR: The higher Employees Provident Fund (EPF) investment income in the first half of 2025 (1H 2025) is likely to lead to a higher dividend payout for the year, while a sustained rally in global equity markets could further boost third-quarter performance, said economists.
EPF announced today that its total investment income rose three per cent to RM38.92 billion in 1H 2025 from RM37.90 billion in 1H 2024, with the investment income surging 22 per cent to RM20.61 billion in the second quarter of 2025 (2Q 2025) from RM16.91 billion in the same quarter last year.
