Bangladesh National Insurance declares 22pc cash dividend

Bangladesh National Insurance Company has recommended a 22 per cent cash dividend for 2025, subject to approval by shareholders.

The decision was taken at the company’s board meeting on Thursday at its head office in the capital, according to a price-sensitive disclosure.

Bangladesh National Insurance Company Limited is a publicly listed, non-life insurance provider in Bangladesh, established in 1996. It offers diverse general insurance products—including fire, marine, motor, and health insurance—and holds an 'AAA' rating for long-term financial security, operating through over 35 branches.

The record date has been fixed for May 13. The 30th AGM will be held on June 23 through a digital platform in line with regulatory directives issued by the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC).

The company also reported improved financial performance for the year under review. Earnings per share (EPS) rose to Tk 4.81 in 2025, up from Tk 4.19 in the previous year.

Net asset value (NAV) stood at Tk 1.38 billion, compared to Tk 1.26 billion a year earlier, while NAV per share increased to Tk 31.26 from Tk 28.45 in the year.

However, net operating cash flow per share (NOCFPS) declined to Tk 4.10 in 2025 from Tk 6.71 in 2024
