ASB Dividend Year 2000~2015 |
Year 2000 was a good year, a toal of 11.75% ( Dividend & Bonus) was declared for that year. Considering that everything is going up in 2015 , it is funny that something that PNB declared a lower dividend this year.
It is true that the value of the total payout is more, but individually, people are getting less than what the got for last year. Hopefully PNB will do better next year.
Unit holders will be able to update their saving account books from 4th January 2015 onwards.
