Dimon Says ‘Absolutely, Positively No Chance’ on Fed Chair Job

In the Wall Street-to-Washington corridor, the prospect of Jamie Dimon for Treasury secretary, or even for president, has come up repeatedly over the years.

The longtime JPMorgan Chase & Co. chief executive officer draws the line at Dimon for Federal Reserve Chair.

“Chairman of the Fed, I’d put in the absolutely, positively no chance, no way, no how, for any reason,” Dimon said Thursday at an event held by the US Chamber of Commerce, in response to a question on whether he’d consider the role. As for running the US Treasury, “I would take the call,” he said.
