Økonomisk avkjøling

Økonomisk avkjøling, or “economic cooling,” refers to a slowdown in economic activity following a period of growth. This phenomenon can occur due to various factors, including rising interest rates, reduced consumer spending, decreased business investment, or external economic pressures. During a cooling phase, indicators such as GDP growth, employment rates, and consumer confidence may decline. Governments and central banks may respond to economic cooling with measures aimed at stimulating growth, such as lowering interest rates or increasing public spending. The term is often used in discussions regarding economic cycles, where economies periodically experience expansion and contraction.
