Q: Just wanted to make you and your readers aware. BNS indicated they will not be raising their dividend for the entire year. They will not be considering an increase until 1 year from now. This bank raised twice a year for years. Then, in 2022 they only raised once by a small amount. Same story in 2023: only 1 small raise. Now, no raise at all for the entire year.

Please note that dividend increases are important to retirees.

Thank you; BNS had indicated that it will resume dividend growth in the 'second quarter of 2025'.
