Eastland Insurance PLC has approved a 10 percent cash dividend for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
The payout was ratified by shareholders at the company’s 39th annual general meeting, attended by chairman Mahbubur Rahman.
The decision underscores the non-life insurer’s commitment to returning capital to investors amid a broader trend of dividend approvals in the Bangladeshi market.
Eastland’s move aligns with recent payouts from other listed entities, including United Finance PLC, which also approved a 10 percent cash dividend for the same period.
For investors, the dividend signals management’s confidence in the company’s liquidity position and underwriting performance.
In a sector where capital retention is often prioritized for regulatory buffers, a full cash payout suggests Eastland views its current capital adequacy as robust enough to support shareholder returns without compromising operational resilience.
