Govt’s dividend income edges up 1.4pc to RM39.55b, with Petronas paying most of it, says A-G

The Federal Government of Malaysia reported receiving RM39.547 billion in investment dividends in 2025, a 1.4% increase from the previous year, according to the Auditor General's Report.

This rise was driven primarily by contributions from Petroliam Nasional Bhd and Bank Negara Malaysia, the latter of which saw its dividend payment grow significantly.

While dividends from statutory bodies increased by 81.8%, those from companies saw a decrease of 5.1%.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Finance Incorporated's investment portfolio decreased slightly due to the redemption of shares in certain entities.

Overall, the government maintains investments in 109 companies, four statutory bodies, and one international agency.
