Thai central bank allows banks to pay interim dividends


BANGKOK, June 11 (Reuters): Thailand's central bank has allowed banks to pay interim dividends as lenders are strong with sufficient capital to withstand the impact of COVID-19 outbreaks, the governor has announced.

Banks are allowed to pay interim dividends not exceeding last year's dividend payment rates and up to 50% of first-half net profits of 2021, Bank of Thailand Governor Sethaput Suthiwartnarueput said on a statement.
