Figures show economy in recession
Thursday, 25 September 2008 12:00

Official figures show that the economy contracted by 0.8% in the second quarter of this year compared with a year earlier.

The latest figures from the Central Statistics Office mean the economy is in a recession.

The technical definition of a recession is two or more successive quarters of negative economic growth.

The CSO said that the Gross Domestic Product measure of output fell by 1% in the first six months compared with a year earlier.

Gross National Product, which excludes profits from multinational companies, fell at an annual rate of 2.1% in the second quarter.

A breakdown showed that capital spending in the period was down almost 19% on the same period last year, hit by the slump in house building as well as lower spending on machinery and equipment.

Consumer spending fell by 1.4%, while total industrial production dropped by 1%. Within this, construction was down by more than 12%.

Recession isn't the end of the world. People get the wrong impression & think recession means great depression & back to living in tenements.

joe316

When does it become depression?

Have we asked the makers of Prozac for a gigantic pill just in case????

No houses there yet so it avoids the "housing crash".
