Meaning of recession: Generally recession is defined by the GDP of the country. If a country's GDP remains under pressure or shrinks for two or three consecutive quarters, it is called a 'technical recession. Due to the shrinkage of the economy, not only does the investment climate get disturbed but the spending mood of the consumers also gets compressed. Due to this consumer demand is weak. Due to weak demand, companies control production.
