Employees Provident Fund (EPF) Declares 6% Dividend For Year 2011



This is going to be something that a lot of workers want to listen too.

E.P.F. declares dividend today. The dividend is going to be 6%. It's a good news I guess. It's the highest dividend since year 2001. So, it can be say as quite a nice one.

Here is the dividends declared for the past 40 years.

We could see that the dividends for 1980s until the beginning of 1990s is 8% to 8.50%. I wonder will I have the chance to get such a high dividend again in future. I hope so.

Cheers!
