Special dividends among options for Affin Bank

PETALING JAYA: Affin Bank Bhd is still mulling over the use of its RM1.54bil proceeds, which translates to RM1bil net gains, from its asset disposal and analysts believe a portion could be funnelled into special dividends.

Besides that, the banking group could likely fuel its core banking business activities – which it credited its industry-leading 15% loans growth albeit at a lower base to its peers – to more proactive sales tactics applied.
