JPMorgan CEO: Banking Crisis Remains Ongoing with Long-Term Repercussions
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warned that the U.S. banking crisis, triggered by Silicon Valley Bank's collapse, is ongoing and will have long-term consequences without likely reaching the scale of the 2008 recession.

In his recent shareholder letter, dated April 4, 2025, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon emphasized that the banking crisis—which initially surged with the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in March—is not yet over. Dimon clarified that while the current challenges differ from the widespread impact of the 2008–2010 Great Recession, their effects will reverberate for years as financial institutions adapt to a more cautious environment.
Alongside his primary message, Dimon touched on broader economic risks, including potential upticks in inflation and tighter credit conditions. Although these concerns signal a need for vigilance, he maintained that the concentrated nature of the current crisis makes it less likely to replicate the massive losses experienced during the global financial crisis of 2008.
