What is likely to affect the business?

Incomes :

Recession:

Stock markets:

Government policies:
If people cannot afford to invest in the company or cannot buy shares
this will affect the business because it will depreciate their stock market value and the
company can lose its value , customers and shareholders.
The recession in the banking industry has adversely
affected the cash flow for the industries. When industries cannot raise
funds for their expansion or operation then the industrial output would
come down. This in turn would affect the GDP of the nation. It may affect
the employment situation in the country also.
Depending on the stock market , the value of the
company can either go up or down . This can positively and negatively
affect the companies and the markets it operates in.
Monetary policy rests on the relationship
between the rates of interest in an economy, (that is the price at which
money can be borrowed) , and the total supply of money. When the Fed is
worried that the economy is growing too fast or prices are rising too
rapidly, it tightens up reserve positions by selling government securities or
allowing maturing securities to run off. This process is known as draining
reserves. If, on the other hand, the Fed becomes concerned that the
economy is not growing fast enough, or is headed into a recession, it can
inject new reserves into the banking system by buying securities from
securities dealers.
