Recession | Vibepedia

A recession is a period of significant decline in economic activity, typically defined by a drop in gross domestic product (GDP), employment, and other key indicators. According to the International Monetary Fund, there is no official definition of a recession. The European Union, United Kingdom, and Canada have similar definitions of a recession, with the latter two defining it as negative economic growth for two consecutive quarters. Recessions can have profound effects on individuals, businesses, and governments, making it essential to understand their causes, consequences, and potential policy responses. With the global economy increasingly interconnected, recessions can have far-reaching impacts, affecting trade, employment, and economic stability worldwide.
