Stages of a Trade Cycle

STAGES OF TRADE CYCLE

a) Depression : Depression (Slump) is considered as most critical and fearful stage of Trade cycle.Depression shows itself first in a substantial decline in output and employment ,prices and wages continue to decline.The fall in prices is more than the fall in wages .This further leads to redistribution of National Income.Incomes of shareholders go down fast which reduces the deposit with bank which in return follow the policy of credit  contraction. This causes depression to persist for a longer period.

b)Recovery : Recovery shows upturn of output and employment of the economy . It is the result of fresh demand arising from the consumer goods industries.Proces remain more or less stable,wages and other incomes show a noticeable rise. Profits start rising,income rises,consumer spending also rises which further encourages increased production. Soon,The other business activity also picks up . It is slow and halting process.

c) Prosperity : Rise in output and incomes of people induces increase in aggregate spending which has multiplier effect.Because of this, income rises faster. The whole process becomes self reinforcing . There is rise in investment, employment,fuller utilisation of productive capacity in the economy.There is substantial expansion of industrial and commercial activities.Finanvial institutions tend to expand credit as interest rates and discount rates goes up. Thus ,there is overall increase in productivity in the economy in this phase .

d) Recession : The end of prosperity phase comes because of tendencies in private enterprise economy prevalent during the boom conditions. As the prices rise,wages tend to lag behind which results in lagging behind the purchasing power of workers. The wave of pessimism gets transmitted to others sectors of economy. The projects in the hand may be abandoned in this.The whole system thereby runs into crisis. In this phase,there is fall in our purchasing power of general public reduces demand for consumer goods . The business world goes panicky.

Tokenization

Tokenization  Tokenization is the process of turning sensitive data into non-sensitive data called "tokens" that can be used in a database or internal system without bringing it into scope.  •It can be used to secure sensitive data by replacing the original data with an unrelated value of the same length and format.  •The tokens are then sent to an organization’s internal systems for use, and the original data is stored in a secure token vault. •The purpose of tokenization is to swap out sensitive data—typically payment card or bank account numbers—with a randomized number in the same format but with no intrinsic value of its own. •Tokenization is the process of removing sensitive data from your business systems by replacing it with an undecipherable token and storing the original data in a secure cloud data vault.  Token will be unique for a combination of card, token requestor (i.e. the entity which accepts request from the customer for tokenisation of a card and p...
