UOB gained 29 cents, or 1.1 per cent, to $26.21; while OCBC Bank jumped 19 cents, or 1.6 per cent, to $12.26. The trio were the top three most heavily traded stocks in terms of value.\nIn its announcement after the stock market closed on Wednesday, MAS said dividend restrictions on locally incorporated banks and finance companies headquartered in Singapore would not be extended starting from this financial year, with \"Singapore's economy expected to continue on its recovery path\".\nMAS said the banks' strong capital adequacy ratios \"are projected to remain resilient\" even if there is a \"stalled global recovery associated with delays in vaccine deployment and a global resurgence in the pandemic due to mutated virus strains\".\nIn July and August last year, MAS had called on local banks and finance companies to cap their total dividends per share (DPS) for the 2020 financial year at 60 per cent of DPS in 2019. Instead, shareholders were given the option of receiving the remaining dividends for 2020 in shares.\nIHS Markit said in a report released earlier this month that dividend payouts for DBS, OCBC and UOB are expected to make a \"strong comeback\" this year due to the banks' strong capital positions and improving economic outlook.\nThe data analytics company predicted that the three banks could increase DPS by as much as 40 per cent on average this year.\nRating agency Moody's expects DBS, OCBC and UOB, to increase dividend payments to pre-pandemic levels of around 50 per cent of their net income.\nIn 2019, OCBC registered a dividend payout ratio of 47 per cent, while UOB maintained a dividend payout ratio policy of about 50 per cent of earnings. DBS had paid an absolute DPS of 33 cents per quarter.\nThe dividend payout ratio is the percentage of earnings paid to shareholders in dividends.\nOCBC and UOB will release their second-quarter results on Aug 4, and DBS on Aug 5.\nIn a statement on Wednesday evening, DBS chief financial officer Chng Sok Hui said the bank will \"take into account\" MAS' latest move in considering its dividends in the upcoming results.\nOCBC chief financial officer Darren Tan said the bank will \"heed MAS' guidance and will determine and declare our interim dividend accordingly\".\nMr Lee Wai Fai, UOB's group chief financial officer, \"welcomed the move\" by MAS to lift dividend restrictions.\nThe three Singapore banks lead among South-east Asian markets in terms of aggregate dividend payouts recovery this year, the IHS Markit report noted.\nThe move follows a similar relaxation by the European Central Bank this month, and by the United States Federal Reserve in March this year.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":801740974,"gmtCreate":1627537741698,"gmtModify":1631891068251,"author":{"id":"3572066448099019","authorId":"3572066448099019","name":"3fa17c07","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3572066448099019","idStr":"3572066448099019"},"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/801740974","repostId":2155438974,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2155438974","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627526740,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2155438974?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-29 10:45","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Singapore banks' shares surge after MAS lifts dividend cap;

DBS had paid an absolute DPS of 33 cents per quarter.\nThe dividend payout ratio is the percentage of earnings paid to shareholders in dividends.\nOCBC and UOB will release their second-quarter results on Aug 4, and DBS on Aug 5.\nIn a statement on Wednesday evening, DBS chief financial officer Chng Sok Hui said the bank will \"take into account\" MAS' latest move in considering its dividends in the upcoming results.\nOCBC chief financial officer Darren Tan said the bank will \"heed MAS' guidance and will determine and declare our interim dividend accordingly\".\nMr Lee Wai Fai, UOB's group chief financial officer, \"welcomed the move\" by MAS to lift dividend restrictions.\nThe three Singapore banks lead among South-east Asian markets in terms of aggregate dividend payouts recovery this year, the IHS Markit report noted.\nThe move follows a similar relaxation by the European Central Bank this month, and by the United States Federal Reserve in March this year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":5366340,"gmtCreate":1627538231146,"gmtModify":1635165156630,"authorId":3583377018896117,"author":{"id":3583377018896117,"idStr":"3583377018896117","authorId":3583377018896117,"name":"bernardtayet","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/43e8c1fc37a4bff2a94af98953cff267","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":801471524,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Well said","text":"Well said","html":"Well said"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":801455089,"gmtCreate":1627530216141,"gmtModify":1633764063933,"author":{"id":"3573703375513385","authorId":"3573703375513385","name":"JonLucky","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15afb66e92e4e4d6d1a8e9b7854e9d5e","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3573703375513385","idStr":"3573703375513385"},"htmlText":"Good news for patient shareholders&nbsp;","listText":"Good news for patient shareholders&nbsp;","text":"Good news for patient shareholders","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/801455089","repostId":2155438974,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2155438974","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627526740,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2155438974?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-29 10:45","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Singapore banks' shares surge after MAS lifts dividend cap;

DBS had paid an absolute DPS of 33 cents per quarter.\nThe dividend payout ratio is the percentage of earnings paid to shareholders in dividends.\nOCBC and UOB will release their second-quarter results on Aug 4, and DBS on Aug 5.\nIn a statement on Wednesday evening, DBS chief financial officer Chng Sok Hui said the bank will \"take into account\" MAS' latest move in considering its dividends in the upcoming results.\nOCBC chief financial officer Darren Tan said the bank will \"heed MAS' guidance and will determine and declare our interim dividend accordingly\".\nMr Lee Wai Fai, UOB's group chief financial officer, \"welcomed the move\" by MAS to lift dividend restrictions.\nThe three Singapore banks lead among South-east Asian markets in terms of aggregate dividend payouts recovery this year, the IHS Markit report noted.\nThe move follows a similar relaxation by the European Central Bank this month, and by the United States Federal Reserve in March this year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":5365474,"gmtCreate":1627530315393,"gmtModify":1635165238053,"authorId":3573703375513385,"author":{"id":3573703375513385,"idStr":"3573703375513385","authorId":3573703375513385,"name":"JonLucky","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/15afb66e92e4e4d6d1a8e9b7854e9d5e","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":801451579,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"patience pays off eventually","text":"patience pays off eventually","html":"patience pays off eventually"},{"id":5371518,"gmtCreate":1627573355609,"gmtModify":1635164801989,"authorId":3569316529855154,"author":{"id":3569316529855154,"idStr":"3569316529855154","authorId":3569316529855154,"name":"Deonc","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d9aa45dd2eb58357f6477dcfb99d1415","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":801451579,"type":1,"supId":5365474,"prevId":0,"content":"Agreed","text":"Agreed","html":"Agreed"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":801450134,"gmtCreate":1627529695828,"gmtModify":1633764068742,"author":{"id":"3579588834516990","authorId":"3579588834516990","name":"Lkl8","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/12361a2024c0ae8c8d97fd2339a79201","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3579588834516990","idStr":"3579588834516990"},"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/801450134","repostId":2155438974,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2155438974","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627526740,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2155438974?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-29 10:45","market":"sg","language":"en","title":"Singapore banks' shares surge after MAS lifts dividend cap;
