The rate of the speed is further examined by stating if it is slow or rapid.

So for example, if the rate is increasing quickly, then it is growing rapidly. You can also say that it is growing exponentially, if it is increasing by more than 2 times the level for the same period in the year before.

If it is declining, then the economy is shrinking. If it is declining slowly, then it is steadily declining.

If the economy is neither growing or shrinking, then it is stalling (However, that is extremely rare to see).

I hope I didn’t change what you wanted to write down too much, if I did please let me know, but this is I think what you might be looking for! ;D
