KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 28 (Bernama) -- The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) voluntary contributions continued to gain momentum, rising to RM19.2 billion last year with the i-Saraan programme being the key driver, said its chief executive officer Ahmad Zulqarnain Onn.

He said the incentive recipients increased 35.9 per cent to 720,056 and total contributions surged 50.8 per cent to RM4.0 billion.

“Overall contributions received grew 12.3 per cent to RM121.5 billion, supported by higher membership, wage growth and sustained confidence in EPF,” he said in a statement following the 2025 EPF dividend announcement today.
