HSBC (0005) hopes to resume dividend payments as soon as possible, chairman Mark Tucker said at the Asian Financial Forum yesterday.

This came after Bank of England allowed British banks to resume paying dividends in December as the financial stability impact of coronavirus had become clearer.

Buying Lloyds shares for income

Around this time last year, shares in Lloyds supported a dividend yield of around 5.3%, or 3.2p per share. If the lender reinstated its dividend at this level in 2021, investors would be in line for a yield of 8.8%

In November, Lloyds reported a Common Equity Tier-1 ratio of 15.2%. At the end of 2019, the ratio was 15%. This was significantly above management’s minimum required level of 13.5%.

When the Tier-1 capital ratio hit 15% in 2019, Lloyds declared a final dividend of 2.25p per share, totalling £1.6bn. I think this capital figure only increased during the last three months of the year. That suggests Lloyds could return substantially more than the £1.6bn payout it distributed for 2019.

I think these numbers mean investors could see a final dividend for 2020 of around 2.5p to 3p per share in the best-case scenario. This suggests the stock could provide investors with a dividend yield of 7% to 8.2%, based on my figures.

A financial support scheme for airports in England will open this month, the government says, as the aviation sector faces new Covid travel curbs.

Aviation minister Robert Courts said the move was a response to the closure of all UK air corridors from Monday.

The aim was to provide grants by the end of this financial year, he said.

Industry groups had warned there was only so long airports could "run on fumes" , following the announcement of the new quarantine rules

Britain’s government said on Saturday it would give financial aid to airports before the end of March, after the industry called for urgent support as tighter COVID-19 rules for international travellers start on Monday.
