The Minister of Industry, M. Urban, said in an interview for the LN daily that he would prefer CEZ to use its free cash for expanding (e.g. Through acquisitions in Slovakia and Bulgaria) rather than for paying a jumbo dividend this year. This rather general statement is not surprising (the Ministry has already indicated that CEZ may pay out approx. CZK 4bn this year, i.e. CZK 6.80 per share) and is in line with the perceived strategy of CEZ.
