PETALING JAYA: Financial experts believe the Employees Provident Fund’s (EPF) dividend payout at 6.15% is a reflection of a solid performance amid global market volatility.
Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid told The Star that the rate remains respectable despite being lower than last year. He said the dividend still outpaces the long-term inflation rate of 2.5% and effectively gives members a real return of 3.65%.
