  • JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said the Russia-Ukraine war is the top risk to the global economy. 
  • In his view, the conflict in Ukraine represents the biggest geopolitical threat since World War II.
  • He also told Bloomberg that it's possible the US economy avoids a recession.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said it's still possible the US can avoid a recession but added that Russia's war on Ukraine poses a big risk to the world.

"The thing I worry the most about is Ukraine," he told Bloomberg Monday at JPMorgan's Leveraged Finance Conference in Miami. "That is much more serious than the economic vibrations that we have to deal with on a day-to-day basis."
