economic recovery...
Economic recovery is not clearly defined and it’s unto debate until now. The phrase “economic recovery” is mostly associated with economic growth and expansion. I can say that recession has no exemption. After all, it is clearly seen on the present condition of our economy. Although it is a nice little catch phrase, it has been kicked around for some time.
