Dividend
The glossary of statistical terms, published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), defines dividends as: ‘…a form of property income received by owners of shares to which they become entitled as a result of placing funds at the disposal of corporations. Raising equity capital through the issue of shares is an alternative way of raising funds to borrowing. In contrast to loan capital, however, equity capital does not give rise to a liability that is fixed in monetary terms and it does not entitle the holders of shares of a corporation to a fixed or predetermined income.’
