BASF Report 2022

BASF on the Capital Market

In 2022, the stock markets were characterized by a significant weakening of the global economy. This was primarily attributable to the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, the drastic increase in energy prices, high inflation, increased interest rates and pandemic-related lockdowns in China. These developments dampened demand in many sectors and had a negative impact on economic growth, especially in Europe. BASF will nevertheless propose a dividend of €3.40 per share to the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. Based on the year-end share price for 2022, BASF shares offer a high dividend yield of around 7.3%.
