JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warns US will enter recession in 6 to 9 months
JPMorgan Chase & Co. Its CEO, Jamie Dimon, has warned that the US and global economies will likely fall into recession next year. Dimon, CEO of the largest bank in the US, said the US economy is now “actually still in good shape” and that consumers will likely do better compared to the 2008 global financial crisis.
“But you can’t talk about the economy without talking about future things – and that’s serious stuff,” Dimon said at the JPM Techstars conference in London on Monday.
Among the indicators that sounded the alarm bells, the impact of runaway inflation, higher-than-expected interest rates, the unknown effects of quantitative tightening and Russia’s war in Ukraine, Dimon said: “These are very, very serious things that I think will push the US and the world – I mean, Europe is already in recession – and they will probably put the US in some kind of recession in six to nine months.”

“Substantial and sustainable investment will be required to decarbonize our transport network and achieve our net zero carbon target,” Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said in a statement.
Jassy said Amazon’s investment will encourage more electric vehicle manufacturers to install charging stations in Europe and provide incentives for the auto industry to produce more electric delivery vehicles. Jassy also made the statement that “Our transportation network is one of the most difficult business areas to decarbonize”. According to the latest sustainability report, carbon dioxide emissions increased by 18 percent in 2021 compared to 2020.
