According to the past, the EPF will announce the dividend payout rate on the second to fourth Saturday of February each year. However, now that February has passed, EPF has yet to announce the dividend payout rate.
In this regard, some netizens asked on the official Facebook page when the dividend payout rate would be announced. In response, the EPF will announce its payout rate in early March.
In addition, according to the news by Sin Chew Daily, the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) is expected to officially announce the dividend payout rate on March 2 (Wednesday). However, this news has not been confirmed by the EPF.
Dividend date of EPF in the past years:
- 2016: February 21
- 2017: February 18
- 2018: February 10
- 2019: February 16
- 2020: February 22
- 2021: February 27
Many people are concerned about how much the EPF will pay dividends. According to economists’ forecasts, the payout rate is expected to range from 5.2% to 6% in 2021 due to higher total investment by the Employees Provident Fund Board (EPF) and better capital market performance, as well as factors such as the upcoming general election.
