Well, if you were the American public, you saw a catastrophe. In general, you would say, The biggest institutions of America - Washington, broadly, and Wall Street, broadly - they're to blame. And, broadly, they're right.

We represent companies from around the world who say, I want to look at Japanese companies. I want to invest in Japan.
Jamie Dimon
The goal of what Japan's central bank is doing is to create growth. If it actually creates growth, in the long run, it will lead to appreciation.

I think the politics have gotten better in the United States, which makes it easier to pass legislation, budgets and treaties.
Jamie Dimon
More people are working, lending is up and savings are up. These are all positive signs for a strengthening economy.
Jamie Dimon
I haven't studied it deeply, but the American banks started the crisis with far more capital and what I would call good liquidity. The riskiest funding is unsecured wholesale funding. It's the most fickle. Not repo, which the government focused on, too. Unsecured. JPMorgan Chase had almost none of that - virtually zero.
Jamie Dimon
I believe it's a good thing that people say, Can we find a way to live together in peace? And they did, for the most part.

Any good job is a good job. This whole concept of a dead-end job? It's not true. I've heard it my whole life. Jobs lead to dignity. If you're good at the first, then you can get the second. Jobs lead to household formation. Jobs are a better solution for society.

But in general, as countries get wealthier, there's going to be more savings, which means you're going to have intermediation. So part of it is just the huge growth in wealth, and part of it was globalization - these companies, these clients getting much bigger and much more global.
Jamie Dimon
If business doesn't thrive, it hurts America. We need improved relations, more collaboration, more thought and more consistency as we go about trying to make sure we have the best country in the world. Not scapegoating and finger-pointing.
Jamie Dimon
It can take a long time to get the rules in place that are conducive to growing, sometimes.
Jamie Dimon
I think the free-enterprise system has been great for society. That doesn't mean it's completely perfect. And also, when people say capitalism, I'm not really sure what they mean.
Jamie Dimon
And if you're going to be a leader, you know what I ask myself? Would I want to work for you in this job? Would I let my children work for you? Would I give you this job if I wasn't there to provide oversight? If you went to run another company, would I, as an investor, invest in that company?
Jamie Dimon
Most CEOs are patriotic and most CEOs can see the problems in front of them, and they want to do something about it. We don't always agree about the ways and means, but the objective? We're totally together.
Jamie Dimon
Dodd-Frank is 2,000 pages long. It covers thousands of rules, regulations, interpretations and things like that.
Jamie Dimon
If it is a small rate raises, [there will be] no impact.

I think the Republicans have really thoughtful financial policies, and I'm more in the middle on taxation.
Jamie Dimon
If you have the choice, it's far better to say, That person has the job, and they really don't need that much of my oversight. Maybe they don't need any of it.

India is a huge democracy. Prime Minister [Narendra] Modi has ambitions to try to fix the infrastructure, the rules, taxes, education, and to lift up the Indian people. And we're hopeful that that's going to create positive momentum.
Jamie Dimon
I know the President [Barack Obama]. I like him and respect him. That does not mean I agree with all of our government's policies, whether they come from Democrats or Republicans.

We invested in the downturn and we never stopped serving our clients.
