JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said in a memo that the economic crisis sparked by the coronavirus should be used to make for a more inclusive economy. “It is my fervent hope that we use this crisis as a catalyst to rebuild an economy that creates and sustains opportunity for dramatically more people, especially those who have been left behind for too long,” Dimon said. “The last few months have laid bare the reality that, even before the pandemic hit, far too many people were living on the edge.” Dimon’s memo comes ahead of the bank’s annual shareholder’s meeting. —Imbert, Son
