ACI, the operator of Croatia's airport network, has announced a dividend payment of €1.59 per share.

The company's supervisory board approved the distribution, a decision that effectively aligns the firm's capital return policy with the stance of the Croatian government, which holds a controlling stake in the infrastructure operator.

The payout reflects the state's influence over the company's financial strategy.

By matching the government's position, ACI ensures continuity in its shareholder returns while navigating the expectations of its primary owner.

The dividend serves as a key income component for investors in the Zagreb-listed stock, which is heavily weighted by state holdings.

This development follows a period of operational stability for the airport group, which has seen traffic volumes recover to pre-pandemic levels.
