More quotes by Jamie Dimon
We, Americans, have the best country on the planet. We have schools, universities, food, water, energy, peaceful neighbors, low corruption, you name it, deepest and widest capital markets. That doesn't mean we shouldn't identify problems. We don't have a divine right to success.

There are parts [in Dodd-Frank] that I don't agree with. But, in total, it is what it is.
Jamie Dimon
Part of the reason some Japanese companies have underperformed financially was corporate governance and board structures.
Jamie Dimon
I don't think that [normalization] necessarily is going to damage the emerging economies.
Jamie Dimon
If it is a small rate raises, [there will be] no impact.
Jamie Dimon
The yen is trading where it's trading because people are guessing about people's future interest rates, dollar and yen and about the future growth potential of the economies. And, if this policy works, then the yen will probably strengthen.
Jamie Dimon
I think if we had another set of policies for - not the crisis years, but after that, that we might be growing faster. But we didn't. And some of that was Republicans' [fault], by the way.
Jamie Dimon
Companies are returning a lot of money to shareholders through dividends and buybacks. And a lot of people say that's not a good use of capital. I think that's normal reallocation of capital.
Jamie Dimon
We represent companies from around the world who say, I want to look at Japanese companies. I want to invest in Japan.
Jamie Dimon
