Will there be a bad recession in 2023?
Will there be a bad recession in 2023? A recession has been in the forecast for much of 2023. Yet an economic downturn — formally defined as two consecutive quarters of declining GDP growth — has yet to happen. “A recession is obviously going to happen at some point,” said Jack Manley, global market strategist at JPMorgan Asset Management.
How long do recessions last?
According to the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), the average length of recessions since World War II has been approximately 11 months. But the exact length of a recession is difficult to predict. In general, a recession lasts anywhere from six to 18 months.
How do you make money in a recession?
Investors typically flock to fixed-income investments (such as bonds) or dividend-yielding investments (such as dividend stocks) during recessions because they offer routine cash payments.
