Deep Dive: How JPMorgan Is Reengineering Banking at Scale
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=191627&nl=daily]
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=191627&nl=daily]
In a global financial landscape defined by volatility and uncertainty,
JPMorgan Chase is aggressively evolving to stay on top. Speaking at
the bank’s 2025 Investor Day, CEO Jamie Dimon cautioned that
“geopolitical risk is very, very, very high” – higher than many
market participants may assume – and warned that a worst-case
stagflation scenario is “probably two times” more likely than
commonly thought. Persistent inflation, rising interest rates, and
conflict-driven geopolitical tensions all form a turbulent backdrop.
Yet JPMorgan’s leadership exuded confidence that the firm can thrive
through turbulence. Management stressed the strength of the bank’s
guiding principles – a “fortress” balance sheet, disciplined
risk management, and long-term focus – as the foundation for
navigating “a range of economic scenarios”. In Dimon’s words,
even if conditions deteriorate sharply, “we will be fine”.

that the Iranian director Jafar Panahi would win the Palme dOr, the
events highest honor, for his new film, It Was Just an Accident. When
I saw the film in Cannes last week, I felt more certain than ever. In
the past two decades, Panahi, like many of his countrymen and
fellow-artists, has faced continual persecution by the Iranian
government: he has been detained and imprisoned, placed under house
arrest, forbidden to leave the country, and banned from filmmaking. He
has circumvented this last restriction numerous times, with great
courage and ingenuity. Today, living in Tehran, he is a free man, a
free artist, and, yes, a Palme dOr winner; he was in Cannes to pick up
his prize on Saturday evening, at the most thrilling and moving
closing ceremony I can remember.

I have come to believe that advertising is the original sin of the
web. The fallen state of our Internet is a direct, if unintentional,
consequence of choosing advertising as the default model to support
online content and services. Through successive rounds of innovation
and investor storytime, we’ve trained Internet users to expect that
everything they say and do online will be aggregated into profiles
(which they cannot review, challenge, or change) that shape both what
ads and what content they see. Outrage over experimental manipulation
of these profiles by social networks and dating companies has led to
heated debates amongst the technologically savvy, but hasn’t shrunk
the user bases of these services, as users now accept that this sort
of manipulation is an integral part of the online experience.
