wave and businesses are struggling with a shortage of customers. Most urban centres are free

TRANSLATION. Translate the following text into Spanish

The boom and bust cycle, also referred to as the business cycle, is an economy’s alternating
periods of growth and decline. During the boom period of the cycle, the economy grows, jobs are
plentiful, and the stock market provides high returns. During a bust cycle, the opposite is true; the
economy shrinks, there are fewer jobs, and the stock market loses value.

What causes boom and bust?

Three forces combine to cause the boom and bust cycle. They are the law of supply and demand,
the availability of financial capital, and future expectations. These three forces work together to
cause each phase of the cycle.
