Recession in our BLOG and the World Over


So what is a recession?
A recession is a decline in a country's gross domestic product (GDP) growth for two or more consecutive quarters of a year. A recession is also preceded by several quarters of slowing down.
What causes it?
An economy which grows over a period of time tends to slow down the growth as a part of the normal economic cycle. An economy typically expands for 6-10 years and tends to go into a recession for about six months to 2 years.
A recession normally takes place when consumers lose confidence in the growth of the economy and spend less.
This leads to a decreased demand for goods and services, which in turn leads to a decrease in production, lay-offs and a sharp rise in unemployment.
Investors spend less as they fear stocks values will fall and thus stock markets fall on negative sentiment.
So my dear Bloggers, come back and purchase space , re-start the fever which has petered down. One purchase somewhere triggers a chain and the economy is back into a healthy state. So would be our blog!
Capitalist bloggers like Faiyaz and Arun too have gone into a recession !
