Economic stagnation, often called simply stagnation is a prolonged period of slow economic growth (traditionally measured in terms of the GDP growth). By some definitions, "slow" means that it is significantly slower than a potential growth as estimated by experts in macroeconomics. By others, the growth less than 2-3% per year is a sign of stagnation.
The term bears negative connotations, but a slowdown of economic growth is not always a problem. For example, the potential growth may be slowed down by catastrophic or demographic reasons.
Economic stagnation theories originated in the times of the Great Depression and came to be associated early Keynesian economics and Harvard economics professor Alvin Hansen.

I believe the cause of stagnation is that the pump of my swimming pool is off and there is no wind. The water is completely stagnant.
If you're talking about economics, you may have meant stagflation which is just a recession with high inflation.
25 years is a long time. Anything can happen; maybe twice or thrice in that period of time. You should be prepared for worst case scenarios no matter how unlikely they seem.
