What the year 2000 problem may do to the stock market and the economy.

The Year 2000 (Y2K) computer problem and a number of related factors may prompt a global economic decline.

      ab: The Year 2000 (Y2K) computer problem and a number of related factors may prompt a global economic decline.

This means that the year 2000 will be read as 1900, causing computer chaos. The problem is unlikely to be resolved in time to prevent a major shock to the world economy.
