Lenders take advantage of the situation and increase the mortgage rate.
When the prices of goods rises to its highest level people spend less and limit their expenses to the basic necessities and restrict themselves from buying luxurious items and try to save money. Cutting of expenditure by consumers results in the decline of GDP. When there is less demand, in a bid to cover the losses the companies also cut down their cost. This cost cutting includes reducing number of workers. The chucking out of workers gives rise to unemployment problem. Recession creates chaos within the economy.
