Nukhud

Nukhud, also known as recessions or downturns in economic activity, refer to periods when a country's gross domestic product (GDP) declines, and economic growth slows or temporarily shrinks. During Nukhud, businesses may see reduced sales, unemployment tends to rise, and consumer spending decreases. It is a natural part of the economic cycle, often caused by factors like financial crises, high inflation, or external shocks. Governments and central banks may respond by implementing policies to boost economic activity, such as lowering interest rates or increasing spending, aiming to restore growth and stability.
