FMI: "Recessions associated with financial crises tend to be severe. Recoveries from such recessions are typically slow."
If such recessions are globally synchronized then they tend to last even longer and be followed by recoveries that are even weaker.
Countercyclical policies can be helpful in ending recessions and strengthening recoveries. In particular, expansionary fiscal policies seem particularly effective.

In order to reduce the effects of the economic slow down, some politicians are turning to monetary policy or the Central Bank. They believe that by printing more money there will be more wealth, more investment and more employment.
When a Central Bank, such as the US Federal Reserve (FED) or the European Central Bank, increases the amount of money in circulation it is done by reducing interest rates.
