1. downturn

   In economics, a recession is a business cycle contraction when there is a general decline in economic activity. Recessions generally occur when there is a widespread drop in spending (an adverse demand shock). This may be triggered by various events, such as a financial crisis, an external trade shock, an adverse supply shock, the bursting of an economic bubble, or a large-scale anthropogenic or natural disaster (e.g. a pandemic). In the United States, a recession is defined as "a significant decline in economic activity spread across the market, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales." The European Union has adopted a similar definition. In the United Kingdom, a recession is defined as negative economic growth for two consecutive quarters.Governments usually respond to recessions by adopting expansionary macroeconomic policies, such as increasing money supply and decreasing interest rates or increasing government spending and decreasing taxation.

Examples of downturn in a Sentence

1. Thomas Pugh:

   Clearly there is huge uncertainty as to how deep the downturn proves and how long restrictions remain in place, a fall in the region of 25% in GDP over the next few months seems likely.

2. Josh Pate:

   Even the downturn happening now is fodder for future seasons.

3. Richard Morrison:

   The Fed is lending to banks and strategically purchasing assets, not handing over bailout payments to anyone. AOCs comparison to student loan payment is inapt. Todays liquidity injection is not the bank or corporate equivalent of someones loans getting paid off by taxpayers, the short-term lending the Fed engages in is quickly repaid by the financial institutions in question, even when, as in this case, the Fed has decided to dramatically scale up certain categories of lending in response to a market downturn.

4. Tony Molina:

   You could miss the best rebounds if you stop investing because of a potential downturn. You run the risk that the market will go up while you're waiting on the sidelines, it's important to remember that volatility is a normal part of investing, and you don't actually lose any money unless you sell your investments for less than what you paid for them.

5. Kyle Sanders:

   Results were softer than usual, proving that even BlackRock isn't immune to a market downturn.
