Abstract

This paper explores the determinants of the dividend policy of firms in the banking industry of Bangladesh. Dividend decision of a bank basically depends on its size, profitability, liquidity and retained earnings. The present study is an attempt to find out the key dividend determinant variables and their impact over cash, stock and total payout ratio. Statistical techniques of simple and multiple regressions have been used to explore the relationships between variables. The investigation results show the predictor variables have a significant relationship with stock payout and an apparent relationship with cash payout. Amongst all the independent variables, Net Income turns out to be most influential indicator in elucidating dividend payouts.
