Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Bank of Kigali Group investors are set for an early Christmas gift after the board approved an interim dividend payout of Sh1.05 per share.<\/p>\n

The dividend disbursement will be made just five days to Christmas, as per a statement released by the BK Group, and will be payable to investors on the shareholders\u2019 register as at November 29.<\/p>\n

\u201cBK Group Plc is happy to announce its first interim dividends approved during a board meeting held on November 7th 2023. The interim dividend will be paid on or about December 20th 2023,\u201d said the BK Group board in the statement.<\/p>\n

BK Group is listed on the Rwanda Stock Exchange and cross-listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE), meaning Kenyan and Rwandan shareholders as well as international investors holding the stock will earn the dividend.<\/p>\n

The Sh1 billion payment comes just months after BK Group paid out another Sh3.5 billion for the full year ended December 31 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn these economic times our commitment is to deliver value to our shareholders, and all our other stakeholders,\u201d said the BK Group CEO Be\u0301ata Habyarimana.<\/p>\n

In the half year to June 2023 the Group reported 30.3 percent growth in net profit to Sh4.4 billion.<\/p>\n

The Group\u2019s businesses, including the banking, insurance and investment units all reported strong growth in the period.<\/p>\n

Bank of Kigali CEO, Diane Karusisi, said the bank\u2019s growth strategy is anchored solely on customer satisfaction and convenient service delivery.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur unwavering commitment to empower our clients is what has underpinned our growth over the years, we will continue to innovate and keep our customers on the front line all the time,\u201d said Karusisi.<\/p>\n
