''In our country, it may affect the country's overall economic activities, including investment, employment, scarcity etc.

It has also an effect on prices, sharp increase in respect of commodities. When the recession continues for a longer period, it brings about economic depression, whereas complete breakdown in economy is known as economic collapse,'' he said.
