The chief executive of JP Morgan, Jamie Dimon, said the retail banking industry would face stiff challenges during 2008. Dimon was reported in the financial news as saying: "On all consumer credit auto loans, home loans, sub-prime mortgages, credit cards where home prices are down, delinquencies and charge-offs are up. We remain extremely cautious as we enter 2008. If the economy weakens substantially from here it will negatively affect business volumes."
