The economy has deteriorated sharply due to the new corona disaster, and financial system instability has increased. Since last spring, a remarkable recovery has been achieved. Fiscal and monetary policy has guided the recovery. Consumption is booming with additional economic measures of $ 1.9 trillion, including benefits from the Byden administration, such as March retail sales up 9.8% month-on-month.

However, the economy is expected to slow down later this year. There are two reasons.

One is the structural reason. The unemployment rate improved from 14.8% in April last year to 6.0% in March this year, but most of the people who returned to work were "temporarily dismissed (layoff)". On the other hand, there are more people who have been "permanently dismissed" than in April last year. This is because the number of jobs involving people is decreasing, as society is becoming more remote due to the corona disaster and the retail industry is failing one after another.

The transition period to find a new job is expected to be about two years, during which the "jobless recovery" aspect of the first Clinton administration is likely to intensify. Corporate performance will improve, but macroeconomic recovery may slow.

The other is financial reasons. The Biden administration is hitting a financial camphor that can be called a balamaki. In the background, the aim is to increase the support of white people in the middle and low income groups who supported Mr. Trump and prevent his reinstatement. However, the large-scale behavior cannot be continued forever, and one day a "fiscal cliff" will occur. Prices are rising, and fiscal spending is becoming more difficult.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is calling for the introduction of an international minimum corporate tax rate, which is also an environment for raising taxes to reduce disparities in the country. He has announced a $ 2 trillion economic measure (infrastructure investment plan) funded by tax increases for the wealthy and businesses, but it is a long-term measure over eight years. These fiscal changes are likely to affect the economy after the second half of the year.

However, it is not a situation that will lead to a recession. Real GDP (gross domestic product) growth will slow to around 4-5% annually in the second half of the year, and will be around 6-7% for the full year 2021.

Joe Biden's administration is just starting, I know with time, things will get alright and the country will be up and running. U.S is the world power lots of countries love them cos they aren't supporting injustice to reign over, they always come to those that have been marginalized by their country's heads. U.S can not go on a recession nor inflation, i understand the uncertainty at the moment, caused by covid19.

A lot of uncertainty is looming over the economy all around the globe due to corona disaster. It's the worst crisis that humanity has faced human life has really gone for a toss. Millions have lost their job and livelihoods and economy has gone for a job dive. It's challenging for any government in any part of world to save the economy and bring it back to track. The options are limited as it's an unprecedented situation.. Vaccines show a hope but still the suspicion looms of going back to normalcy..Countries especially US ( being the economic power centre of world) have seen recessions earlier too but survived it and bounced back. But this time the scenario is unprecedented and we can not say things with surety. We can hold on to our hope, wait and watch.
