The dynamic growth of nominal and real values of dividends paid in the world, observed since the last quarter of the twentieth century, is determined by the companies with the largest capitalization. However, the increase in global dividend payments is not the same in all countries and is subject to geographical, economic and legal regionalization. It is also disturbed by economic fl uctuations (especially the 2008 cri-sis) and, more recently, by the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper, using the data from the survey of Janus Henderson Investments, analyses changes in dividend payments in geographical (continents) economic (countries with a similar level of economic development) and legal (countries with similar legal systems)regions by the 1,200 largest companies in the world between 2009 and 2021. Linnear trend models taking into account the COVID-19 pandemic in the world and in separate regions and subregions, as well as the panel partial adjustment model of dividends vs. GDP, were estimated. The conducted research confi rmed the impact of diff erent forms of regionalization on the rate of dividend payments by the world's largest companies. In the years 2009-2021 dividend payments in Australia and Asia grew the fastest. COVID-19 signifi cantly reduced dividend payments in 2020 in Europe. Dividend payments in emerging markets countries grew faster than in developed markets countries and COVID-19 did not signifi cantly reduce payouts on emerging markets. However, it is the developed markets that still provide the vast majority of dividends. The common law system is more favorable to dividend payments. (original abstract)
