The Federal Reserve has lifted requirements imposed six years ago on JPMorgan in the aftermath of trading losses that cost the New York bank around $6bn.

JPMorgan has made “substantial improvements” in its risk management and internal auditing controls, the Fed said Thursday in a statement announcing the termination of a 2013 order that placed additional scrutiny on the bank.
