Jamie Dimon Criticizes NYC Tax Hikes on the Rich as Mamdani Seeks to Close Budget Gap

Jamie Dimon said Zohran Mamdani’s plan to raise taxes on wealthy New Yorkers and businesses could further damage New York’s standing as a business hub.
The criticism came after a recent meeting between the JPMorgan CEO and Mamdani, the city’s left-leaning mayor, who is pushing the increases to help close a budget shortfall.
Mamdani has also attacked Wall Street bankers and other executives, sharpening tensions with the business community as he advances the tax plan.
Realtors and corporate leaders have already pushed back, with Dimon adding a high-profile warning that the proposal could hurt the city’s competitiveness more broadly.
