The only way out right now is wait and watch coz only one country or leader cannot end this recession but all need to contribute to make it normal.
This is my take

Recession : in short can be termed as a downturn.
When does it happen : this is something which cannot be predicted….it is a phenomena which is constantly occurring now and then; only thing that changes is the scale at which it happens
Why does it happen: when the economy starts booming, demand for each and every thing appreciates; ROI increases.
Since affordability is not an issue due to the improved standard of living, one doesn’t feel the pinch.
But at the same time, there are a lot of speculators with ready cash, who trade from rice to oil. This speculation creates an artificial increase in prices.
Increase in prices of commodities leads to inflation.
In certain cases, the booming economy reaches unimaginable heights where ROI ranges from 200-300% in a short span.
Now, all of a sudden, speculators seeing the appreciation in their holdings start to dilute their investment. In certain occasions, this chain reaction continues which in turn leads to what we all know as ‘recession’
