BGC Partners: Food for Thought: Why no dividends from banks?

For the first time since the 2002-03 period in the aftermath of the Turkish banking system crisis, it looks like Turkish banks will not be able to distribute any cash dividends in 2019. We should note that even during the 2008-09 global crisis episode, many of the Tier-I banks were able to distribute close to 20% of earnings. It had been reported by Bloomberg and later confirmed by bank managements that the BRSA had sent a document to banks back in November 2018 stating that capitals should be maintained to weather the negative impact of financial market volatility and that they could allow dividend payments only if consolidated CET1 ratios are above 12%.
