How to use "Stagnant" in context?
economy
The U.S. economy has been stagnating for some time now and it looks like it's going to stay that way for a while. In spite of all the talk about how great the economy is doing, the fact is that we're not seeing any real sign of growth. In fact, we're seeing some pretty serious indicators that we may be in for a prolonged period of stagnation.
The economy has been growing slowly for quite some time now. But even if it were growing at a somewhat morerapid rate, that would hardly be enough to solve the problem of the economy being in stagnation.
