Response in English: A struggling economy, also known as an economic downturn, can manifest in several ways, with some common signs including:- High Unemployment Rates: An economy that is struggling usually faces high unemployment rates, as businesses cut back on new hires or lay off current employees to reduce costs.- Decreasing GDP: Gross domestic Product GDP measures the value of all goods and services produced within a countrys borders. A drop in GDP over a period often signals that the economy is slowing down, with people spending less money on purchases, causing a decrease in production.- Falling Stock Prices: Stock prices often decline during an economic downturn as investors become more cautious and hesitant to invest in companies that may not perform well.- Increase in Bankruptcies: Economic downturns often lead to an increase in the number of bankruptcies, both for businesses and individuals as their revenue or income decreases.- Low Consumer Confidence: Consumer confidence is often low in a struggling economy, as people worry about their personal finances and may delay making large purchases, causing a decrease in demand for goods and services.- Tightening of Credit: Banks and financial institutions may become more cautious in lending money during an economic downturn, making it more difficult to obtain loans or credit.Overall, a struggling economy is characterized by unemployment, decreased production, lower stock prices, an increase in bankruptcies, low consumer confidence, and tight credit markets. .
