majandussurutise

Majandussurutise, also known as economic recession, is a general decline in economic activity that is characterized by a fall in gross domestic product (GDP) over two consecutive quarters. This period of reduced economic activity is typically accompanied by increased unemployment, reduced consumer spending, and a decrease in business investment. Recessions are often triggered by a variety of factors, including financial crises, changes in consumer confidence, and shifts in global economic conditions.

The causes of a recession can be multifaceted and may include factors such as:

1. Overheating of the economy, leading to asset bubbles that eventually burst.

2. Financial crises, such as bank failures or defaults on government debt.

3. Changes in consumer confidence, leading to reduced spending.

4. Shifts in global economic conditions, such as changes in commodity prices or shifts in trade patterns.

The impact of a recession on an economy can be significant, leading to increased unemployment, reduced consumer spending, and a decrease in business investment. However, recessions can also provide opportunities for economic restructuring and innovation, as businesses and governments seek to adapt to changing economic conditions.

The duration and severity of a recession can vary widely, with some recessions lasting only a few months, while others can last for several years. The most severe recession in recent history was the Great Recession of 2008-2009, which was triggered by the financial crisis and had a significant impact on global economies.
