"qualify as" I am wondering if both of the sentences below are correct. "The real question is not the technical issue of wheather the downturn will qualify as as recession, but how long it will last." Thanks; "The real question is not the technical issue of whether the downturn will be qualified as a recession, but how long it will last."

Buoyed by... 英→日ですが、日本語の分かる方に答えて頂けると有難いのでこちらのカテにしました。よろしくお願いします。 ・Buoyed by central-bank liquidity and sovereign-wealth fund's readiness to pour capital into American banks, some tesions are easing. ・中央銀行の流動性や政府系ファンドは、資本をアメリカの銀行に注ぎ込む準備が整っていることに支えられて、いくらかは緊張が緩和しつつある。 この分詞構文の部分の、日本語訳に違和感を覚えていて、自分なら、 ・中央銀行の流動性や、政府系ファンドがアメリカの銀行に資金を注ぎ込む準備が整ったことに支えられて、いくらかは緊張が緩和しつつある。 （‘緊張’はここでは景気後退に対するものを表しています。） という感じの意味になるのではないの？？と思ってしまうのですが、いかがでしょうか？ よろしくおねがいします！！
