Jamie Dimon warns: We’re getting a ‘bad recession’ plus ‘financial stress’ like the 2008 crisis

JPMorgan Chase chief Jamie Dimon said he expects the coronavirus crisis to include a “bad recession” and elements of financial strain similar to the 2008 downturn.

In his annual shareholders letter, Dimon also warned that the bank may have to consider suspending its dividend if the economy reaches “extremely adverse” conditions.

As the economy worsens and loan losses mount, regulations put in place after the last crisis a decade ago would begin to constrain the bank, Dimon warned.

He added that while JPMorgan “will participate in government programs to address the severe economic challenges, we will not request any regulatory relief for ourselves.”

The combination of war and inflation could have unpredictable consequences, Mr. Dimon said in his annual letter

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon Says ‘Powerful Forces’ Threaten U.S. Economy
Bank’s first-quarter profit fell 42% as it socked away funds to prepare for higher defaults in case of recession

Chief Executive Jamie Dimon said the economy is strong and growing, citing double-digit growth in card spending, low delinquencies and healthy household and consumer balance sheets. But the bank surprised Wall Street by setting aside $900 million in new funds to prepare for economic turmoil; a year ago, it freed up $5.2 billion it had reserved for potential loan losses in the pandemic’s early months.

Those extra funds could cushion the bank if the economy tips into recession, sending loan defaults higher. Mr. Dimon said that risk remains remote but has grown following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and as inflation has hit its highest level in 40 years.

“Those are very powerful forces, and those things are going to collide at one point,” Mr. Dimon said. “No one knows what’s going to turn out.”

A recession, he said, is far from a sure thing. “Is it possible? Absolutely,” he said.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon says investors should expect more blowups after a crash in U.K. government bonds last month nearly caused the collapse of hundreds of that country’s pension funds.

“My experience in life has been when you have things like what we’re going through today, there are going to be other surprises,” Dimon told analysts on Friday.


Markets will continue to be volatile so long as the Federal Reserve is boosting rates and shrinking its massive balance sheet, Dimon said.

Jamie Dimon, longtime JPMorgan Chase CEO, said of the latest financial shock in his annual letter: “The current crisis is not yet over, and even when it is behind us, there will be repercussions from it for years to come.”

“But importantly, recent events are nothing like what occurred during the 2008 global financial crisis,” he added in the letter released Tuesday.

The recent banking issues in the U.S. began with the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, which was closed by regulators on March 10 as depositors pulled tens of billions of dollars from the bank.
