Economists at a meeting of US governors have warned of a recession within the next three years, telling leaders at the 2016 National Governors Association Winter Meetings that it is with "100-percent certainty" that the US economy will suffer such a downturn within the given time frame.
Joseph Lake of the Economist Intelligence Unit says speculation of a recession has been a long-running theme because of uncertainty in the stock market and a downward trend in manufacturing.
