State-owned energy giant Petronas will boost the dividend it owes the Malaysian government by 19% in 2027 as oil prices soar and raise profits at the company.<\/p>\n

Malaysia\u2019s Ministry of Finance estimated in its 2027 budget unveiled<\/a> on Friday that government revenue is estimated to rise 4.7% next year.<\/p>\n

Assuming average global crude oil prices remain stable in 2027, Malaysia expects its petroleum-related revenue to hit $15 billion, or 61.2 billion Malaysian ringgits, next year, thanks to higher dividends from Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas).<\/p>\n

The state energy firm is set to boost its dividend contribution to Malaysia\u2019s budget to $7.8 billion (32 billion ringgits) in 2027, up from $6.6 billion (27 billion ringgits) for this year.<\/p>\n

For 2026, Malaysia\u2019s petroleum-related revenue is estimated to drop to 15.1% of total revenue, due to a lower Petronas dividend of RM27 billion, despite a higher average global crude oil price projection of $85 per barrel.<\/p>\n

Last year, the contribution of national energy giant Petronas to Malaysia\u2019s budget was expected to crash<\/a> by 38% in 2026, to the lowest level since 2017, as oil prices were falling at the end of 2025.<\/p>\n

But as oil prices surged in 2026 in the wake of the Iran war and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, the dividend contribution was revised up from just $5 billion (20 billion ringgits), to $6.6 billion (27 billion ringgits) for the current year.<\/p>\n

Petronas\u2019 revenues rose<\/a> by 15% in the first half of 2026 from a year earlier, thanks to higher domestic production and LNG exports and soaring energy prices. Core earnings, or EBITDA, and profit after tax also rose by 4% each year-over-year.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Petronas \u53d1\u5c04<\/a> Searah, a new upstream company jointly owned with Italy\u2019s Eni to tap upstream discoveries in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Suriname. It has also diversified long-term LNG supply arrangements via strategic partnerships.<\/p>\n
