Key Takeaways
Listed companies in Africa pay some of the juiciest dividends available in emerging markets and are widely lucrative on a dividend yield basis. Dividends are important in stock investing because they give shareholders a steady source of extra money. Large corporations that make a lot of money and have stable finances usually pay significant dividends. Investing in these companies can benefit in two ways: your shares can become more valuable over time, and you get regular dividend payouts.
