Portugal’s Caixa Geral de Depósitos (CGD) bank is distributing a €1.25 billion dividend to the state, stemming from record profits in 2025. The bank’s profits reached €1.904 billion, a 10% increase compared to the previous year. This translates to approximately €1.38 per share for investors. The substantial dividend payout reflects CGD’s strong financial performance. This marks the highest profit ever recorded by the bank. The funds will be received by the Portuguese state as a return on its investment in CGD. The positive results demonstrate a continuing upward trend for the institution.
