Recession beating

Recession beating companies mean firms that aren't actually suffering from the recession, according to BBC.

Is reccession beating same as recession-proof?

Thanks.
  

Top answer

I have not heard "recession beating" as a phrase. Recession-proof is a common phrase. A kind of company that does well in recession conditions might be called "recession-beating".

  • A **** shop for example, since in hard times, people will hock their valuables to get a bit of extra money.
  • Comapnies that are said to be recession-proof are producers of consumables (we still buy toothpaste and soap in a recession), or medical businesses (we still get sick in recessions).
