MTUC says EPF dividend rate fair in view of economic challenges


PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Trade Union Congress (MTUC) says the EPF dividend rate for 2019 is relatively fair considering the pressing economic challenges in Malaysia and globally.

MTUC president Datuk Abdul Halim Mansor said that while MTUC was not entirely satisfied with the rate of 5.45% declared, he acknowledged EPF's heavy responsibility in deciding the rate based on the returns from its investments impacted by economic uncertainties.
