Slowdown

Definition
A period of slow economic growth, especially one that follows a period of robust growth. Unlike a recession, economic growth during a slowdown is not necessarily negative. For example, a country whose GDP has experienced 3%, 3.3% and 3.5% growth for three consecutive quarters, but then sees growth of 3.51% and 3.52% is not in a recession but in a slowdown.
