Contraction: A slowdown in the pace of economic activity defined by low or stagnant growth, high unemployment, and declining prices. It is the period from peak to trough. Trough: The lowest turning point of a business cycle in which a contraction turns into an expansion. This turning point is also called Recovery.
Economic contraction ends when the Fed lowers interest rates and increases the money supply, because it becomes inexpensive for companies to fund their growth through bank loans. As companies increase their operations into the expansion phase of the business cycle, they also hire employees and increase salaries. This gives consumers more money to spend, and their purchases of houses and cars, at low interest rates, fuels the expansion of the economy.
