economic recovery
Post-recession growth phase
Economic recovery is the phase when an economy rebounds after a recession or depression.
It typically involves rising employment, increased consumer spending, and growing business investment.
The housing market showed early signs of economic recovery.
Recovery may be rapid (V-shaped) or prolonged (L-shaped), depending on the severity of the downturn and policy responses.
