About MacrolithicIllustrative representation of typical business cycle phase durations. For educational purposes only.
Economic cycles are the natural rhythm of market economies. Understanding where an economy sits within a cycle — whether it's expanding, peaking, contracting, or recovering — is foundational to interpreting policy decisions, investment behavior, and consumer confidence.
Historically, full economic cycles have lasted anywhere from 18 months to over a decade. The duration and intensity of each phase depends on structural factors, policy responses, and external shocks.
