The International Monetary Fund states that global economic growth of 3 percent or less is 'equivalent to a global recession'. It has occurred many times, including 2008-2009.

The causes were the global economic crisis sparked by bank debt and Greek debt. This last factor led to the EU lending Greece billions of Euros and banks having to forfeit the money owed to them by the country.
