Many Singaporeans rely on their Central Provident Fund (CPF) account to save for retirement.The CPF scheme is effective in helping you build up a nest egg that can dish out a stream of passive income when you stop working.However, the CPF Ordinary Account (OA) has an interest rate of just 2.5%, which may not keep up with inflation over the long term.Hence, it’s important to invest your money in dependable blue-chip stocks that can pay you a higher dividend yield.Here are five such stocks with dividend yields that are more than double what the CPF OA is paying.
