1dn Often country cuts serious error with good slow easing of growth (4,7)

S?F? L?N?I?G Soft landing?

Thanks in advance

[Neveracrossword]

Oft - often
Land - country
Sin - serious error
g - good

S Oft Land in g.

I didn't really see how this equals 'slow easing of growth' - sorry!

[Lie-in King]

Yes, 'Soft landing' - 'oft(en) land' (cuts; is in) 'sin' + 'g(ood)'

This any good?

soft landing
A period of economic slowdown that is successfully managed by a government so that it does not lead to a recession.

An economy can have a soft landing rather than a crash
