More quotes by 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.

I wanted to start by saying that the eurozone - there are two reasons they formed the European Union. One is for political peace and rationalization. And I think that's a good thing for a continent that went through hundreds of years of wars.

It's offensive to me to be called a cost cutter.

As countries get wealthier - all of them, together - you're going to have financial assets. That is a good thing. You could argue the assets were traded too much, or that they're too highly valued, or too leveraged.

The government has the right to change laws and rules and regulations.

I advise other companies' CEOs, don't fall into the trap where you go, 'Where's the growth? Where's the growth?' Where's the growth?' They feel a tremendous pressure to grow. Well, sometimes you can't grow. Sometimes you don't want to grow. In certain businesses, growth means you either take on bad clients, excess risk, or too much leverage.

Good regulation should be conducive to business and to customer protection.

I think normalization is a good thing.

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.

No one can forecast the economy with certainty.

Dodd-Frank and independent actions of banks go a long way in terms of progress on capital, liquidity, transparency, living wills (plans for winding down a bank in the event of a collapse) and resolutions.
Jamie Dimon
I am not embarrassed to be a banker. I am not embarrassed to be in business.

I also believe that most of the emerging economies have a fairly large amount of foreign exchange reserves, relative to 10 years ago.

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.

JPMorgan Chase are among the most successful global investment banks, most successful global asset managers, and, in the United States, one of the most successful retail and commercial bankers. We do a great job for customers.
Jamie Dimon
All our clients know that we're there, we're steady, we do a good job, we earn a fair return for ourselves, which I think is critical.
Jamie Dimon
Finance went from being a small business, effectively, to being a big business. In part, that's the growth of the world's wealth. That's called savings.
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
Their [American banks] big issue will be if they want to deal with the biggest companies, which are doing a lot of business overseas. How they do that is a big question. It's almost impossible to build a global investment bank from scratch. If they want to do that, they probably will have to do an acquisition.

We got a lot of excellent people and businesses from Bear and WaMu. But Bear definitely was more painful. WaMu got us into Florida, California, and other states, which was a huge benefit - to expand and grow and add middle-market, private banking, investment banking, and other products, too.
