and it is after all the finished goods and the services of the country, this is used to determine the size of the country’s economy. The business cycle
is the fall and the rise of the GDP, the fluctuation of the rise and fall is shown by the business cycle, there are some key stages of the business cycle

the country is in a recession than the country will be decreasing the interest rate and the money supply will be increased.
