The ekonomic recession has affected our lives for almost two years. It originated in the U.S. and soon spread around the world. At the beginning of this contribution I set a question whether it is possible to predict a recession or crisis on the basis of the financial status of company or group of companies. The answer can be sought both in the construction of the indicators themselves, according to which, we assess the financial situation of the company and secondly in relation whole /global economy/ and its component parts /company or group of companies/. Although there is a recession on the basis of data coming mainly from the market, it is /certainly in this case/ the state of mind of market participants /customers, customers/. So the crisis has its roots outside the market and it is therefore not possible to predict it from the point of view of the company.
