The verb 過ぎる shows up in the following sentence:

> 二年間の景気後退期を **過ぎれ** ば、この国の経済は最悪の状態を脱するかもしれません。

I think I understand the sentence but the problem is that I'm not sure what
過ぎる exactly means. It is in its ば conditional form, right? What would be the
meaning of 過ぎる in this sentence? 助けてください

What is the meaning of 過ぎる in this sentence?
>
> 「二年間{にねんかん}の景気後退期{けいきこうたいき}を過{す}ぎれば、この国{くに}の経済{けいざい}は最悪{さいあく}の状態{じょうたい}を脱{だっ}するかもしれません。」

「～～ **を** 過ぎる」, in this context, means " ** _to get through_** ".

「過ぎれば」 is indeed in the conditional form.

> "If (we) get through the two-year recession, this country's economy might be
> out of the worst situation."
