• U.K.'s gross domestic product shrank by 1.4% in the fourth quarter of the year following a 0.3% decline in the quarter before.
• Japan also had two consecutive quarters of GDP contraction—3.3% in the third quarter and 0.4% in the fourth.
• Two quarters of GDP decline are the technical definition of a recession and the two economies stand in contrast the the U.S., which grew 3.3% in the fourth quarter.

Hopefully, the recession in the UK and Japan does not last for many years.
