UK regulators are considering plans to allow banks to start paying dividends again next year, The Times newspaper reported on Monday.
The Bank of England (BoE) and commercial banks are “bartering” a deal to allow banks to make shareholder payouts as long as their loss-absorbing capital buffers are strong and they continue to extend credit to the real economy, the newspaper said.

I don't hold any banks in my HYP, but I know some here do, so this should be of interest to them. Should banks be able to pay dividends again, I might just toy with bringing them back on board......maybe?
