Dimon expressed concerns about inflation, suggesting that it may persist for an extended period, and warned of the possibility of stagflation—a scenario characterized by high inflation and economic stagnation.

While Dimon remains hopeful for a soft landing for the US economy, where growth slows without slipping into recession, he acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding this outcome.

The Federal Reserve's efforts to curb inflation have become increasingly challenging, with the central bank facing the dilemma of taming price pressures without stifling economic growth.
