HONG KONG/SYDNEY/NEW YORK : Jamie Dimon, the chief executive of JPMorgan Chase & Co, travels to mainland China this month for the first time in four years, sources said, the latest in a series of visits by top foreign financial executives since the lifting of tough COVID-19 curbs.
The visit is Dimon's first to mainland China since the pandemic gathered pace in 2020 and closed the world's second-largest economy for almost three years as it enforced some of the world's most stringent restrictions. Dimon visited the Asian financial hub of Hong Kong to meet the bank's staff and clients in November 2021.
JPMorgan's China business presence includes its wholly-owned securities venture, which offers securities underwriting and advisory services. The Wall Street bank acquired 100 per cent ownership of its funds management joint venture in January.
