S&P 500 dropped 7% year-to-date

Why government contracts are your best bet during a global recession

Global economic turbulence

The global economy is entering stormy waters. Goldman Sachs recently raised the probability of a U.S. recession to 35%, citing mounting economic pressures. The stock market has suffered its sharpest decline in years — Thursday marked the worst day since the onset of Covid in 2020.

The S&P 500 is down 7% year-to-date, reflecting growing uncertainty and market instability. Trade tensions and tariff wars are adding fuel to the fire, casting a long shadow over global economic prospects.

Market diversification is crucial

In uncertain times, diversification becomes essential for building resilience. While the private sector often shrinks during downturns, the public sector remains stable and reliable.

Governments have the ability to print money and tend to maintain — or even increase — public spending during economic crises. This makes public procurement a consistent and dependable source of business opportunities.
