Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

A recession is a period of general decline in economic activities. It is when the GDP of a country for two consecutive quarters is negative.

Potential output is the output an economy can produce if all its resources are fully employed.

During a recession, output is negative so output would be less than potential output.
