JPMorgan Europe Fined €12.2 Million by ECB for Misreporting Capital Requirements
The European Central Bank stated in a statement on Thursday that JPMorgan's European branch was fined 12.18 million euros (14.32 million U.S. dollars) by the European Central Bank for misreporting capital requirements due to incorrect calculation of risk-weighted assets.
The European Central Bank said that between 2019 and 2024, the bank reported risk-weighted assets at a level lower than required; this occurred because the bank misclassified corporate risk exposures for 15 consecutive quarters and applied a credit risk weighting lower than that stipulated by banking regulations.
The European Central Bank added that the bank also inappropriately excluded certain transactions when calculating risk-weighted assets, a decision that may be challenged by the EU courts.
JPMorgan acknowledged the fine and has taken remedial measures.
A JPMorgan spokesperson stated that JPMorgan Securities proactively discovered and self-reported these issues, which have now been fully rectified. JPMorgan Securities has always maintained a strong capital buffer, and its robust and prudent capitalization approach remains unchanged.

Jensen Huang's sudden resignation shrouded in suspicion: Did the White House secretly intervene? Is a return possible in the future?
Only a few days separated Jensen Huang’s strong support from the board last Sunday and his late-night resignation on Wednesday. Multiple reports of the Wednesday night Nvidia board meeting were co-authored by Washington-based journalists—who do not typically cover Nvidia—fueling rumors of "White House pressure and information leaks." Huang’s unique value lies in leveraging his personal reputation to secure the supply chain and drive the implementation of technological roadmaps, making him difficult to replace. Some analysts note that, drawing on examples such as Steve Jobs’ return to Apple, it is possible that Huang may come back in the future.
