JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon called new plans for more stringent capital rules “hugely disappointing” days after US regulators released the long-awaited proposals.

The measures will make certain activities such as mortgages and small-business lending harder for banks, Dimon said Wednesday in a CNBC interview. JPMorgan “is going to adjust for it,” but Dimon said he’s “not sure it’s the right thing for America.”
