Higher dividend from Petronas?

KUALA LUMPUR: Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) chairman Tan Sri Mohd Sidek Hassan said the national oil company might be able to review the amount of dividend it pays the government following the increase in Brent crude oil prices.

Petronas’ dividends have been trending down since 2014 following the sharp drop in crude oil prices which came down from a high of US$120 per barrel in July 2014 to less than US$30 per barrel in January last year.
