Stagflation and recession are increasingly being used to
describe where the economy might be headed. The
World Bank warned on 14th June 2022, that global
economies were at risk of stagflation if not recession.
"The world economy is again in danger," David
Malpass, president of the World Bank, said in the latest
edition of the Global Economic Prospects report. "It is
facing high inflation and slow growth at the same time.
Even if a global recession is averted, the pain of
stagflation could persist for several years - unless major
supply increases are set in motion.

"As Malaysia is an open economy, whether our growth will be a U-shaped or V-shaped recovery will also depend on external factors, such as the recovery of our major trading partners as well as the restoration of global supply chains," he said in his welcoming address at Invest Malaysia 2020 today.
Malaysia recorded only five new Covid-19 cases yesterday, with only 198 active cases and an approximately 98% recovery rate to date. "The rate of infections may have been low in our country, but the public have been constantly reminded…

- In the research paper “The productivity puzzle”, Professor Jagjit Chadha (2017) does an economic analysis of the UK economy. He states: “The problem following the financial crisis of 2007-08 is not so much that we cannot account for growth in output in this manner, as we approach the tenth anniversary, but more that the growth in output seems concentrated in the increase of inputs rather than productivity. It is as though the economy rather than working smarter has simply been working harder.” Critically evaluate the above statement.arrow_forwardThe AD/AS diagram illustrates GDP falls, often occurring below potential GDP. expansions recessions economic growth the causes of economic growth when the equilibrium level of realarrow_forwardThe following table gives some figures from forecasts of real GDP (in 2005 dollars) and population completed in mid-2014.

Countries with significant tourism industries, such as The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Cayman Islands, Dominica, and Grenada, were hard-hit by a more than 70 percent drop in overnight visitors in 2020, which spilled over to affect other economic sectors. An increase in agricultural production in Jamaica could not prevent the economy from shrinking by 10.4 percent. Agriculture in Belize was affected by a severe drought from the previous year and then a reduction in tourism-related demand. The economy contracted by 13.3 percent.
