In the US we might be in a recession, we won’t know until the GDP numbers are released. However the way I think it works is that if there is a negative growth, that means the recession started on the beginning of that period and not the end.
The way things are right now most likely it will be negative and recession will be confirmed. The rates are not raised fast enough and unemployment is just way too low. Low unemployment means lower productivity and higher wages and higher inflation.
I strongly believe that the advance states of the world are very good in covering every loopholes that will signal an already existing recession in their respective states. This is quite so due to a strong working system of market price regulations of goods and services when compared to many third world nation's that lack this ingenuity.
Many third world countries seem to look much hittwd by recession due to lack of workable operational systems and institutions. With a porous economy of recession will surface wih ease with a bit on the citizens as prices of goods and services skyrocketing on daily basis especially with weak
a institution responsible for price regulation and inspection, capitalists can make the situation look more miserable in their drive for profit after profit.
In conclusion, recession is a current problem for every state of the world but it seems differently cause of the strategies applied by the different state in tackling it and so the effect on each state differs.
