Well, they usually cut interest rates so borrowing becomes cheaper. That encourages businesses to invest and consumers to spend more. Sometimes, governments also increase public spending on infrastructure projects to create jobs.
But isn’t too much spending risky?
Yes, if they spend too much, it could lead to more debt or even higher inflation later. That’s why economic policies have to be balanced.
It’s a tricky situation. So, what can an ordinary person do during a recession?

Save money, avoid unnecessary expenses, and try to improve skills to stay competitive in the job market. Diversifying income sources also helps.
