Dividends

The current dividend constitutes the minimum level, assuming a stable economic environment. While we aim to continuously develop dividends in line with business performance and earnings progression, dividend growth can deviate, e.g. in times of restructuring or because of significant global economic developments. We also aim at a target corridor of 20-25% of EPS pre.
