Credicorp’s Board of Directors postpones decision on dividend payment
Lima, Feb. 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Credicorp (NYSE: BAP) announces to its shareholders and the market that the Board of Directors, in its session held on February 25th, 2021 decided to postpone the decision on dividend payment for the financial year 2020.
The Board came to this determination after a thorough assessment indicated that uncertainty still prevails, particularly with regard to the evolution of the pandemic.
Although the economic indicators in our operating countries have shown clear signs of recovery since the second semester of 2020, the Board believes that the path upward depends greatly on the speed of immunization roll out, and on the easing of the lockdown measures.
Once the outlook is clearer, the Board will decide whether a dividend payment is in order, based on the company´s solvency, liquidity and prospects for growth. Credicorp’s capital ratios remain adequate and above our internal minimum, and as we continue to rebuild our profitability, we expect to further strengthen our capital base.
