<h1>Economy minister warns nation faces recession risk amid inflation and investment decline</h1> The country's economy minister warned that the nation stands on the brink of recession during an international economic forum. Despite previously outperforming predictions due to high defense spending that maintained growth and low unemployment, the economy faces mounting pressures from inflation and lack of foreign investment. The militarized economy has benefited from military recruitment bonuses and increased wages, but economists warn of stagnation risks due to insufficient investment in non-military sectors. Other senior officials provided more optimistic assessments, describing the situation as economic cooling rather than impending recession.
