PETALING JAYA: Petroliam Nasional Bhd (PETRONAS) is likely to ramp up spending on capital expenditure (capex) on upstream oil and gas (O&G) activities but continue paying lower dividends next year.

Kenanga Research expected the national oil firm to pay a slightly lower dividend next year and this would boost its capex closer to RM60bil.
