Recessions are periods of reduced economic activity that can be caused by currency crises, energy crises, underconsumption, overproduction, or financial crises. A recession is defined as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. The IT sector is heavily impacted by recessions through job losses and unemployment. Governments can help economies recover from recessions through fiscal and monetary policies like tax cuts, government spending increases, reducing interest rates, and increasing the money supply.
