The economy is on the road to recovery

The Indian economy is on a road to recovery now

Learn something new everyday. That’s the mantra for better English speaking.

The phrase for this post is, “On the road to recovery”.

What happens when you are on road to Delhi?

Well, you are heading towards Delhi and very soon you will reach there. Similarly, when a person is on road to recovery, they are quickly regaining their lost health. When the economy is on a road to recovery, it is regaining its strength which it lost.

The idea of being on road to recovery is having put the bad times past and now something is gaining its strength back.

Let’s take some examples:

1. Indian economy is on the road to recovery after the government announced some tough measures.
2. He was severely injured but is on the road to recovery now. It took a lot of time but things are much better. Doctors say there is a good chance that he will resume international cricket soon.
3. After years of misrule, the new government strengthened the law and order machinery, the justice system and began a policy of rapid industrialization. The state is on a road to recovery.
4. The democratic institutions have been weakened by years of dictatorship. Under the new democratic government, they are on the road to recovery. However, it remains to be seen how long can the army stay away from power.

Use it to signify the sense of “condition improving” or getting better.

Let’s close with some more examples:

1. He had multiple fractures in his legs in the accident but is now on the road to recovery.
2. His relationship with his wife suffered a great deal due to their own differences and also, when he lost his job. However, now with their parents intervening, its on the road to recovery.
3. The company was in the red under the older management but with the new CEO, it is on the road to recovery.
