Country home getting financial assistance in recession (5)
I believe the answer is:
india
'country' is the definition.
(I know that India is a country)
'home getting financial assistance in recession' is the wordplay.
'home' becomes 'in' (to be in is to be (at) home).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'financial assistance' becomes 'aid' (I've seen this in another clue).
'in recession' is a reversal indicator (letters recede or go back).
'aid' in reverse letter order is 'dia'.
'in'+'dia'='INDIA'
(Other definitions for india that I've seen before include "Sub-continental country" , "Comms code for I" , "Place of Kipling's birth" , "South Asian republic" , "Cricket team" .)
