## Coverage

The dataset covers annual EPF conventional dividend rates from 1952 through
2025 and Shariah dividend rates from 2017 through 2025.

## Schema

| Field | Type | Description |

| `conventional` | number | Conventional account dividend rate in percent. |
| `shariah` | number or null | Shariah account dividend rate in percent. |

## Known quirks
