The Most Common Signs Of Economic Recovery!
The Most Common Signs Of Economic Recovery!: The present economy is no doubt in great shape compared to the global recession of 2008. Nevertheless, is this economy going to improve or should people expect another recession around the corner? To answer the question, a critical analysis should be done of the signs to look for in a healthy economy.
Following are some common signs of an economic recovery:
Gradual rise in GDP
It is believed that an economy breaks with two consecutive negative growth quarters. It is not entirely true as two consecutive positive growth quarters can also lead to a recession. An ideal economy should have a 2.5% annual rise in GDP.
Rise in Employment
A rising economy has less unemployment rate compared to a crashing economy. When an economy starts to rise, businesses start hiring people again and more jobs are open and hence unemployment declines. Therefore, it is usually a good method to co-relate employment with economic reforms.
Consumer Spending
Although consumers should opt for saving more and spending less, the consumer spending is directly proportional to a rising economy. The better the economy, the more consumers spending there is.
Normal Inflation Rate
A rising economy observes a steady inflation rate. Although deflation may be favorable to financially struggling people in the short term, it can turn harmful to the economy. What happens is that if people become accustomed to deflation, the rate of consumption and investment decreases. It happens because people start applying the “I’ll buy it when it’s cheaper” approach.
Bank Loans
Small businesses depend upon bank loans for survival and development; however, this is not true for public enterprises when it comes to expanding. Without banks giving loans to small corporations, these businesses do not grow. If smalls businesses do not grow, that means that the economy will not improve. Therefore, the bank lending can be correlated with economic growth.
Economic Recovery and Human Index
Human Development Index (HDI) can be correlated to economic reforms. You can easily guess economic progress by studying the HDI. In a growing economy life, expectancy increases, education increases, and income per capita is increased all of which constitute the composite statistic of HDI.
