Multi -nation experts point out that the US economy is cold due to its own factors, including monetary policy, and its spillover effect will drag down the global economic recovery and bring severe challenges to developing countries and emerging economies.

Economic recession may not be avoided

According to data from the US Department of Commerce, the GDP in the second quarter of this year was calculated by 0.9%at the annual rate of annual rates, which shrinks for two consecutive quarters, constituting a technical recession in the usual sense.

It is expected that the economy will perform worse in the next 12 months. Many economists believe that the US economy has deteriorated.

Policy errors harm yourself
