I'm a really big believer - this is not a statement about President [Barack] Obama, but whoever is president - that good policy is really important.

I don't mind paying higher taxes, because I've done quite well and I'm blessed to live in this country.

You read constantly that banks are lobbying regulators and elected officials as if this is inappropriate. We don't look at it that way.

Image
Economies of scale are a good thing. If we didn't have them, we'd still be living in tents and eating buffalo.
Jamie Dimon
Image
We continued to build the business, even in the worst of times. We do business all over America.
Jamie Dimon
Image
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
Image
I completely agree with the concept that American citizens shouldn't expect that a failure of a bank would cost them money, or that it would hurt the economy.

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.

Japan, Europe, [and] America probably [are] better than last year [2015], not China.
Jamie Dimon
Image
I don't like the term universal bank. The Chinese government legitimately wants to have a very strong economy. When they talk about SOE reform, they know that's part of it.

I think the Republicans have really thoughtful financial policies, and I'm more in the middle on taxation.

Image
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.

Image
People always say to me, What if it doesn't work? If it doesn't work, we redouble our effort. We're not going to cry like a bunch of babies. We're going to redouble our effort.
Jamie Dimon
Image
We're going to do the right thing for the company and our customers, all things considered.
Jamie Dimon
Image
If it is a small rate raises, [there will be] no impact.
Jamie Dimon
Image
Usually, something that is fairly expected is already factored in. I also think that you have to think that America is raising rates because the economy is getting stronger.

If the government wants to do social policy, it should not be done in a quasi-public company. If you have a mortgage guarantee company which is done by the U.S. government, it should be guaranteed by the originators, i.e., the shareholder.

I am still a Democrat. The main reason is because I don't like the Republican stance on some social values. Not that I disagree with all of them. I just don't think they have a right to impose it upon other people. I've been public about that.

JPMorgan was already, for the most part. Our businesses at JPMorgan share the same cash-management systems. The commercial bank, the private bank, the retail bank, they all use the branches. The cash-management system moves the money around the world - for global corporations, and for you, the consumer, too.

More people are working, lending is up and savings are up. These are all positive signs for a strengthening economy.

If you were a corporation needing financial services, and I can give you something better, faster, and cheaper across 12 products as opposed to eight, that's business. I'm doing it because I'm serving you I'm not doing it because I want to be universal.
