Gov’t extends 4% SMRA interest rate floor until 31 December 2025

This will raise the SMRA interest rate to 4.14%.

The 4% interest rate floor for interest earned on all Special, MediSave, and Retirement Account (SMRA) funds has been extended for another year until 31 December 2025.

The extension will ensure that CPF members continue receiving returns on their savings amidst the volatile interest rate environment.

From 1 October to 31 December, the SMRA interest rate will be set at 4.14% as the pegged rate exceeds the floor rate of 4%.

Meanwhile, the Ordinary Account (OA) interest rate will remain unchanged at 2.5% as the OA pegged rate remains below the floor rate of 2.5%.

Correspondingly, the concessionary interest rate for HDB housing loans, which is pegged at 0.1% above the OA interest rate, will remain unchanged at 2.6% during the same period.

In addition, CPF members will continue to earn extra interest on their CPF savings. Members aged below 55 will earn an extra 1% interest on the first $60,000 of their combined balances (capped at $20,000 for OA).

For members aged 55 and above, the Government pays an extra 2% interest on the first $30,000 of their combined balances (capped at $20,000 for OA), and an additional 1% on the next $30,000.

The extra interest earned on the OA balances will go into the member’s Special Account or Retirement Account. If a member is aged above 55 and participates in CPF LIFE, the extra interest will still be earned on his or her combined CPF balances, which includes the savings used for CPF LIFE.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
