Jamie Dimon, head of US bank JP Morgan Chase: I am worried about the global economy

I am worried about the global economy


Simon Jack, BBC Business Editor speaks to global financial titan
Jamie Dimon. He’s the Chief Executive and Chairman of JP Morgan
Chase, America’s largest bank, and one of the biggest banks in
the world. He oversees more than $4 trillion of assets, and has
the ear of world leaders.


He believes we are living in a time of uncertainty, and is
concerned about the impact on the global economy. The risk of a
serious fall in the US stock market within the next two years is
being underestimated, he claims, adding he is far more worried
about this than others.


But he still puts his faith in the American economy, saying it is
the best in the world. And while he says the United States is now
a “less reliable” international partner, it is thanks to the
actions of President Trump that other NATO members have stepped
up their spending on defence. Such investment he believes is
essential, in a world more dangerous since the Russian invasion
of Ukraine.


Jamie Dimon has been at the helm of JP Morgan Chase for nearly
twenty years. Now he has been tipped as a potential US Treasury
Secretary, something he says is not on the cards.
