JPMorgan Chase (JPM  ) CEO Jamie Dimon said Monday that it would be a "huge mistake" to believe the current U.S. economy's strength will last for years, as risk including central banks tightening their liquidity programs, the Ukraine war, and increased global government spending threatens the healthy consumer balance sheets and rising wages supporting growth.

"To say the consumer is strong today, meaning you are going to have a booming environment for years, is a huge mistake," Dimon said at a financial conference in New York.

"Businesses feel pretty good because they look at their current results," Dimon added. "But those things change, and we don't know what the full effect of all this is going to be 12 or 18 months from now."
