Succinct, yet informative! While I'm not an expert, your explanation of why interest rates are lowered leading into a recession is a little simplistic. It should be noted that, in Australia at least, the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) does not lower rates with the view to stopping Australia from falling into a recession. The Reserve Bank of Australia has a 2-3% inflation target. In the lead up to a recession investment and consumer spending are likely to drop, thereby reducing the upward pressure on prices in the economy. With this in mind, the RBA may lower interest rates in order to keep inflation within the target 2-3% range. James, this is one of your best posts yet. Succinct, yet informative!
