An economy experiences periods of expansion, peak, contraction, and trough—collectively called business cycles. Factors like consumer demand, investment patterns, and global markets can trigger or worsen cycles. Government and central bank policies aim to moderate these fluctuations through counter-cyclical measures (stimulus in downturns, cool-down policies in expansions). Recognize that cyclical downturns lead to rising unemployment, lower profits, and sometimes deflationary trends. Contemporary examples include the 2008 global financial crisis or cyclical slowdowns. For exams, link how policy interventions attempt to smooth cycles, especially in a developing economy reliant on global capital flows.
