Kuala lumpur: A total net fund of RM42.17 billion has been channeled to 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) to finance its debt repayments and meet its financial commitments as of July 31, 2025, the Finance Ministry (MoF) said. The ministry stated that RM15.44 billion of this amount originated from MoF’s fund and the Minister of Finance Inc (MoF Inc), provided as shareholder advances or loans. The remaining RM26.73 billion was sourced from funds resulting from 1MDB asset recovery.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, RM28.93 billion of the total was allocated for 1MDB principal debt repayment, while RM13.24 billion was utilized for interest payments and company commitments. This information was provided in a parliamentary reply on the Dewan Rakyat portal, in response to a query from Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Dr Wan Ismail (PH-Bandar Tun Razak) regarding the amount of public funds recovered since 2022, including the return of assets linked to high-profile cases such as 1MDB.

The MoF highlighted that 1MDB’s outstanding debt, which includes Islamic medium-term notes (IMTN) principal and interest payments up to 2039, amounts to RM9.02 billion — comprising RM5 billion in principal and RM4.02 billion in interest. The ministry also mentioned that the government has contributed RM5.35 billion towards financing the principal, interest, and commitments of strategic investment company SRC International Sdn Bhd (SRC).

The ministry emphasized that the present government is committed to continuing efforts to recover all misappropriated funds related to 1MDB and SRC, aiming to maximize returns to settle debts and fulfill the commitments of 1MDB and SRC within the stipulated timeframe. Since the establishment of the Asset Recovery Trust Account in December 2018, the government has successfully recovered a total of RM29.7 billion linked to 1MDB and SRC, of which RM10.9 billion was recovered from 2022 until June 30, 2025.
