English translation:about to face the next recession

to keep the irony of the Dutch in the English, I would go for a short, snappy translation

Thank you. I'm not sure I agree with MarijkeJoan's comment about 'juist' - I'm happier that, as you have put, it is 'juist volgend'.

who is in fact heading for the next recession


Explanation:
although I graded Titia's answer with a 4, as I feel it's a good sentence, I feel that the 'juist' (which as missing) could be adequately translated by 'actually', or 'in fact'.

Good luck!
