The ongoing technological rivalry between the United States and China heats up as China establishes a third, and largest yet, state-backed investment fund dedicated to bolstering its domestic chip industry. This strategic move signifies China's unwavering commitment to achieving self-sufficiency in chip technology, a critical component in modern electronics and a point of contention with the US. China Steps Up Chip Game The Big Fund Gets Bigger: Unveiling the Third Phase China's newly launched fund, officially known as the third phase of the China Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund (IC Industry Investment Fund), carries the unofficial moniker "Big Fund." This latest iteration boasts a staggering war chest of 344 billion yuan (approximately $47.5 billion). Registered in Beijing, this phase dwarfs the previous two installments, solidifying the government's commitment to propelling China's chip industry forward. A Closer Look at the Big Fund's Investors The Big Fund isn't a solitary endeavor; it represents a collaborative effort by prominent Chinese entities. Here's a breakdown of the key players: Ministry of Finance: Leading the charge is China's Ministry of Finance, contributing a significant 17% stake (around 60 billion yuan) to the fund. China Development Bank Capital: Following closely behind is China Development Bank Capital, a subsidiary of the country's development bank, with a 10.5% stake. Major Chinese Banks: Demonstrating broad domestic support for the initiative, five major Chinese banks each contribute roughly 6% of the total capital. This collective effort highlights the national importance China assigns to achieving chip independence. Market Cheers the Big Fund Announcement The Chinese stock market reacted positively to the news of the Big Fund's expansion. The CES CN Semiconductor Index, a key indicator of China's chip sector performance, surged by over 3%. This surge marks the strongest single-day performance for the index in over a month, reflecting investor confidence in the Big Fund's ability to propel the domestic chip industry. It's worth noting that similar positive market reactions followed the launch of the Big Fund's first two phases in 2014 and 2019, respectively. A Track Record of Success and Future Focus The Big Fund isn't a novel venture. Its previous phases have demonstrably supported critical players within China's chip ecosystem. Some notable beneficiaries include: Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC): China's leading chip foundry has received backing from the Big Fund. Hua Hong Semiconductor: Another major Chinese chip foundry has benefited from the fund's investments. Yangtze Memory Technologies: This prominent flash memory maker has also seen support from the Big Fund. Beyond these industry giants, numerous smaller chip-related companies and investment funds have received crucial funding through the Big Fund's initiatives. Looking towards the future, reports from Reuters suggest the third phase will prioritize investments in equipment specifically designed for chip manufacturing. Additionally, the Big Fund is exploring partnerships with various institutions to effectively manage the substantial capital injection. This collaborative approach could ensure the efficient allocation of resources and the successful execution of China's chip self-sufficiency goals. The US-China Tech Rivalry: A Complex Landscape The Big Fund's establishment can't be viewed in isolation. It's intricately linked to the ongoing US-China tech rivalry. The US has imposed export controls on certain chip-making technologies, a move viewed by China as an attempt to stifle its technological advancements. By establishing the Big Fund, China aims to lessen its dependence on US technology and foster domestic innovation in the chip sector. This strategic move seeks to position China as a self-sufficient leader in chip development and production. FAQs: Q: Why is China so focused on achieving chip self-sufficiency? A: Chip technology plays a critical role in modern electronics, from smartphones and computers to advanced weaponry. By achieving self-sufficiency, China aims to reduce its reliance on foreign technology and potentially gain a competitive edge in various sectors. Q: How has the US responded to the Big Fund's launch? A: The US government has yet to issue an official statement regarding the Big Fund's launch. However, the ongoing tensions surrounding technology transfer between the two countries suggest the US might view this move with concern.

If you’re currently in a financial pinch or want to know as much as possible about the EPF or Employees Provident Fund program, one thought that’s likely to have crossed your mind is finding out how the EPF withdrawal system works. Here, we’ll be breaking down all you need to know about the EPF, how it works, and everything involved in getting your money out of the program.

What Is EPF?

EPF is short for Employees Provident Fund and refers to a government program run by the Ministry of Finance. The primary goal is to ensure that employees have something saved for when they’re at a certain age or unable to work again for whatever reason.

How Does Yhe EPF Work?

This retirement savings scheme works differently, depending on the individuals involved. For example, in all cases, EPF automatically deducts 11% of your monthly salary at the end of each moment. However, if you earn less than RM 5 000, your employer should contribute 13% of your salary to this program. But, in cases where you make above the RM 5 000 benchmarks, your employer is required to contribute only 12% instead. Recently, EPF has worked for people in the gig economy and even stay-at-home moms!

Withdrawing From Your EPF

Under ideal circumstances, this retirement savings scheme allows withdrawals only when an individual is 55. The primary reason is that you should take the proceeds from this account and use them to support yourself in your golden years. There are a few instances where you’re legally allowed to tap into this account at an earlier age, as long as you meet specific requirements.

Requirements For Withdrawing From Your EPF Prematurely

Some provisions allow you to take out some or all of your savings before age 55 under certain circumstances. Before delving into these circumstances, it’s vital to mention that your EPF is into two different accounts. You can’t withdraw from either of these accounts unless;

You’ve saved above the required sum for your age and want to transfer the excess to a fund manager for further investment.

You’re a civil servant who started the EPF program before putting you on the government’s pension plan.

For any reason, you become mentally or physically disabled and cannot work anymore.

You intend to relocate from Malaysia finally.

You become deceased, and your beneficiary gets your savings.

You must cover housing loans, Hajj expenses, or medical bills.

What To Remember

No matter the reason, make sure you think long and hard before dipping into your Employees Provident Fund, as this can have far-reaching effects!

More formally known as the Employees Provident Fund, whether or not to use the EPF is a matter that’s been intensely debated among Malaysians for quite a while now. So, if you’re wondering if it’s okay to entrust your pension funds to this system, here is some information that can help you make a more informed decision!

(Employees Provident Fund) EPF – What It Is?

In basic terms, the Employees Provident Fund is a federal statutory body that operates under the Ministry of Finance and manages the savings and retirement planning for working Malaysians all over the country. Is Putting Your Savings in EPF a Smart Play? Yes, it is!

In many ways, this program can be considered the most critical aspect of your retirement planning. As a wholly safe and government-backed investment venture, you can always rest assured of a profit when you trust your savings to this system. The EPF has always promised and delivered a minimum annual dividend of 2.5%. And depending on several factors, that value can go even higher.

Who Can Access EPF?

Currently, virtually everyone is eligible to benefit from this program, not just workers with employees. Everyone from individuals operating in the gig space to people who run their businesses and even stay-at-home moms can benefit from using EPF. You need to deposit whatever amount you can at any time that’s most comfortable for you, and you’ll be slowly but surely securing your future! The only people excluded from this program are public sector workers who already have a government pension plan.

What’s The Upper Limit For EPF?

You can’t put more than RM 60 000 in your EPF per annum. It is valid for everyone, from workers with employees to stay-at-home moms. RM 60 000 is the established upper limit for a fiscal year, so you can’t save more than that.

Why Is It So Important To Put Something Away For Retirement?

Using resources like EPF is vital because you’d need access to at least RM 1 000 a month to take care of yourself once you retire. It is the bare minimum as considerably higher amounts are necessary if you want to ensure maximum comfort in old age. As a result, even if you have other investments, putting something away in your EPF can give you that much-needed level of assurance that you are indeed covering your bases. Thanks to the fact that the EPF hasn’t failed since its implementation, you can effectively secure your retirement funds.

When Can I Access My EPF?

Barring a few unique circumstances, you’ll only be able to get access to these funds after you turn 55. It ensures you have enough to spend for the rest of your natural life.

Bottom Line

EPF is the ideal solution if you want to put your savings into something you can trust and rely on.
