The most influential trend in the world economy is a major downturn in economic activity, including economic recessions in many of the most powerful countries in the world. At the end of 2008, the U.S, Japan, Germany, France, and the European Union as a whole, observed that the economy was moving at a slow space and at that point the declared recession.
