The bank “delivered strong results as the economy continues to show good growth – despite the dampening effect of the Delta variant and supply chain disruptions,” CEO Jamie Dimon stated in the declaration. “We released credit reserves of $2.1 billion as the economic outlook continues to improve and our scenarios have improved accordingly.”
Dimon restated a message from previous quarters, which likewise gained from reserve releases, that supervisors didn’t think about the gain to be basic to their organization.

The company’s possession and wealth management department published a 21% boost in earnings to $4.3 billion on greater management costs and development in balances. Assets under management increased 17% to $3 trillion on increasing equity markets.
