2025 Recession Has Arrived, Economists Warn

The inversion of the yield curve, a leading indicator of economic crises, has triggered the alarm. After months of warnings, the 2025 recession appears to have begun, leaving behind 17 years of accumulated imbalances that must now be addressed. The pressing question is whether this contraction will lead to a depression in 2026.

The Inverted Curve as Crisis Herald

The analysis of the interest rate yield curve, highlighting its inversion after two years of an upward trend, is presented as the primary driver of the current recession. This phenomenon, not seen so clearly since 2008, anticipates economic difficulties. The official narrative that minimized these indicators, attributing post-ELbichito liquidity injections to a temporary measure, is now questionable given evidence that imbalances have not only persisted but worsened over nearly two decades.

Trump and Global Reconfiguration

In this context, Donald Trump's strategy is seen as an attempt to preempt the crisis and redefine the global economic landscape. The push for competitiveness, productivity, and fiscal balance, against what some call central banks' "false liberalism," emerges as the new paradigm. The imposition of tariffs, though criticized by some as protectionist measures that stifle productivity, is viewed by others as a necessary response to other countries' policies and a way to protect the national economy. The economic war with China and the reshoring of US manufacturing are central to this new era, with robotics potentially safeguarding competitiveness against higher wages.

Gloomy Prospects and the Shadow of Depression

The general mood is one of contained pessimism. While some celebrate the correction of imbalances, most antiestéticar the real impact of the recession, especially in economies like Spain's, which started from a precarious position. The possibility of a 2026 depression looms over the debate, fueled by accumulated debt and geopolitical uncertainty. Potential stimulus measures, such as massive liquidity injections, are viewed with suspicion, antiestéticaring they may only postpone the inevitable or create new bubbles, such as Bitcoin, which some see as a safe haven or another speculative bubble.

The immediate future remains uncertain, with hope that fiscal rebalancing policies and a push for productivity may mitigate the harshest effects of the recession, though the shadow of a deeper crisis does not dissipate.
