economic disruption
Financial system shock
Economic disruption is a significant disturbance to normal economic activity—markets, industries, supply chains, or employment patterns.
Disruptions may come from technological innovation, financial crises, pandemics, or policy changes.
The term often carries positive connotations when describing creative destruction: Ride-sharing apps caused massive economic disruption in the taxi industry.
But it can also describe damage: The war's economic disruption left millions unemployed.
