Singaporeans put $6.7b into CPF accounts in 2025 surge

About 316,000 members received voluntary top-ups from themselves or their families.

Singaporeans put $6.7b into their Central Provident Fund (CPF) accounts in the first seven months of 2025, surpassing the $4.8b for all of 2024.

About 316,000 members received voluntary top-ups from themselves or their families, the CPF Board said.

January alone saw $2.9b in top-ups, more than four times last year’s figure, with most going to members aged 55 and above.

The surge followed the raising of the Enhanced Retirement Sum and the closure of the Special Account for those over 55, which led many to transfer funds to their Retirement Account, where savings earn up to 6% interest.

The Matched Retirement Savings Scheme (MRSS) also expanded, with more than 130,000 members receiving top-ups, up from 103,000 for all of 2024.

Over half were aged above 70, and nearly three-quarters maximised the higher $2,000 government matching grant.
From January 2026, MRSS will cover Singaporeans with disabilities of all ages.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
