The week ahead

Malaysian Finance Calendar: 21-27 September 2026

RaymondRates.my3 min read

Malaysia's biggest bank pays its first interim dividend of the year this week, petrol resets Thursday, and it's a quiet week for the Fed and Bank Negara. Wednesday carries the most weight — Maybank, Heineken Malaysia and a new petrol price all fall on the same day.

Wednesday stacks the week's dividend day, the petrol announcement and a DOSM data release. Saturday and Sunday are empty.
  • Miss Wednesday's date, miss the payout. Maybank and Heineken Malaysia both go ex-dividend that day.
  • Two central banks sit this one out. The Fed meets 27–28 Oct, Bank Negara 5 Nov — not this week.

Buy on the ex-date and the seller keeps the dividend.15 Bursa stocks go ex-dividend this week — this table shows the seven biggest payouts, not all of them.
Wednesday alone carries four counters, led by Heineken Malaysia and Maybank. The seven biggest single payouts span Monday to Thursday.
  • Buy today, the seller collects. You must hold the stock before its ex-date to receive that dividend.
  • Heineken tops the week's payouts. Maybank's first interim dividend follows on the same day — both ex Wednesday.
Deposit rates are anchored — most promos still have about a week. Bank Negara held the OPR at 2.75% on 3 September and meets next on 5 November, so board rates stay flat. Most current FD cycles — UOB, AmBank, HSBC, RHB and CIMB among them — run to 30 September. Compare today's FD rates before that round closes.
