According to CNBC, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon announced a $24 million effort to revive American shipbuilding, the latest move under the bank's $1.5 trillion security project aimed at bolstering industries critical to U.S. economic and national security. The figure includes $18 million in loans and $6 million in grants to finance a new submarine manufacturing facility at the Philadelphia Navy Yard built by Rhoads Industries, expand lending to maritime-related small businesses, and strengthen regional suppliers. Dimon said the arsenal of democracy has been reignited and noted that South Korean conglomerate Hanwha is constructing a shipyard at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. The announcement comes as rising geopolitical tensions spur governments to rearm and reinvest in domestic industrial capacity. Last year, JPMorgan launched the $1.5 trillion initiative to finance sectors critical to U.S. security, including shipbuilding, and expanded the program into Europe this year.
