The Rise of Shadow Banking
“How much business would JPMorgan or the industry as a whole lose if capital ratios rose to the expected levels?” Mayo asked.
Chief Financial Officer Jeremy Barnum said the bank would raise prices for end-users of loans and other products before eventually deciding to leave certain areas entirely.
“To the extent we have pricing power and higher capital requirements mean we’re not delivering an appropriate return to shareholders, we’ll try to reprice and see how that holds up,” Barnum said.
“If repricing is not successful, then in some cases we will have to regroup, which means exiting certain products and services,” he said. “This could mean those products and services leave the regulatory sphere and go elsewhere.”
