In a completely flexible economy, this drop in measured GDP (and the concomitant increase in unemployment) could be avoided if the resources formerly employed in selling imported consumer goods could quickly be used to generate exports.
But this would imply a further drop of measured GDP by about the same percentage (and a further substantial increase in unemployment).
