At the 2026 interim results briefing held on August 31, CM Bank President Wang Xiaoqing addressed the bank's interim dividend strategy, confirming that the board has secured shareholder authorization for the payout. He noted that preparatory work for this year's interim distribution was already underway in prior months.

Wang explained that the bank is weighing multiple variables—including risk-asset allocation, comprehensive asset yields, capital replenishment needs, dividend policy, and market recognition. He underscored two key objectives: maintaining a sound and controlled risk profile for stable operations, and actively addressing shareholder expectations through consistent value creation.
