UK dividends rise 13.2% as financial and mining sectors drive growth
Capital Group data show UK shareholder payouts outpaced wider international growth in the third quarter, reflecting strong cash generation among London-listed banks and mining companies.
A satirical cutaway shows two separate lifts. The UK GDP lift has risen only slightly above the lobby, its passenger standing patiently with a briefcase. Beside it, a lavish dividend lift carries a delighted shareholder far upwards. Its separate drive mechanisms resemble a bank vault and a mining winding wheel. The displays read ‘GDP +0.4%’ and ‘DIVIDENDS +13.2%’.
