A recession isn\u2019t just a fancy term economists throw around at cocktail parties; it\u2019s a real-life economic downturn characterised by a drop in GDP, soaring unemployment rates, and an overall sluggish economy which we all feel.

And remember the dip from 2016 to 2017? Yes, that was another rough patch thanks to a tumble in oil prices and production.
