business cycle
The four phases in a typical business cycle are expansion, peak, contraction, and trough. During the expansion phase, economic activity increases, leading to rising employment and consumer spending. The peak represents the highest point of economic activity before a decline begins. In the contraction phase, economic activity slows, often resulting in recession, followed by the trough, which is the lowest point before recovery begins.
The business cycle typically consists of four main phases: expansion, peak, contraction (or recession), and trough. During the expansion phase, economic activity increases, leading to growth and higher employment. The peak marks the highest point of economic activity before a decline begins. Contraction follows, where the economy slows down, potentially leading to a recession, before reaching the trough, the lowest point before recovery occurs.

A recession is a modest downturn in the level of economic activity. Technically, this is indicated by two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth by the GDP.
Recession- A significant decline in activity regarding the economy. A recession usually declines such matters as employment, industrial production, real income, and wholesale-retail trade. A recession is measured in two consecutive terms of negative economic growth by the country's gross domestic product. Recovery- The period, after a recession, of growth due primarily to the utilization of economic capacity which became idle during the recession. Expansion- The period of economic growth after a recovery in which the increase of GDP is due to increases of productivity and addition of new economic capacity, rather than utilization of idle capacity.
The business cycle refers to the fluctuations in economic activity that an economy experiences over time, characterized by periods of expansion and contraction. These cycles typically consist of four phases: expansion, peak, contraction (or recession), and trough. During expansion, economic indicators such as GDP, employment, and consumer spending grow, while contraction marks a decline in these indicators. Understanding the business cycle helps businesses and policymakers make informed decisions regarding investment, resource allocation, and economic policy.
