So, you know, J.B. Morton, we try to run J.B. Morgant.

We serve you regardless of the economy.

I know the economy get better or worse.

That's not how you run the business.

It's not how your average restaurant runs the business.

They want the clients to come in and take care of them.

That was Jamie Diamond, the long-serving boss of America's largest bank, J.P. Morgan,

assuring customers and no doubt investors about the bank's commitment to the U.S. economy.

Welcome back to the views room. I'm Amy Donlin. And I'm Anita Ramoswamy. And this week we are delving into succession planning at the bank. Yes, it's not just a popular TV show. News of a

shake-up at J.P. Morgan has got people a flutter as to who will take over once he finally retires.

So stay tuned for the viewss Room, the weekly podcast from

Reuters Breaking Views, where Amy and I talk to our fellow columnists about the big stories of the week.

We're coming to you from London and New York. So Anita, I shake up at J.P. Morgan. What are your thoughts? When did you first hear about J.P. Morgan and the possibility that Jamie Diamond might step down.

For me, it was about 10 years ago. Wow. Yeah, I was going to say, I feel like there's been so much talk

about Jamie Diamond stepping down. But at this point, his name is so synonymous with the JP Morgan brand.

And it's interesting to envision a J.P. Morgan without him at the helm. It's been so long that

he's been running the company. So I guess Morgan, we're going to have to bring in Anita, our

two esteemed colleagues who are in your region. So we are delighted to have Lauren Silva Lachlan,

who is the US editor of Breaking Views. And we have John Foley who heads up our financial coverage for breaking views.

So John and Lauren, great to talk to you.

Thanks for having me.
