In April, the UK's third largest grocery store owner postponed the decision to pay an annual dividend

Payment of Sainsburys dividends

New boss Simon Roberts has taken the reins and is expected to announce the decision to resume dividends

Sainsbury's is expected to resume dividend payments this week despite a discussion about receiving a huge tax cut and a second national blockade. 

City analysts said they expected the supermarket to give the green light to dividends again - with Barclays analysts planning a £220 million payment to shareholders. 

This assumes the network pays a dividend for the last six months and a 'catch-up' for a payment it delayed earlier this year.
