U.S. Public Finance
Today’s municipal market is increasingly complex and challenging. We understand that to make decisions with confidence, you want new insights about credit risk. Whether you are an issuer, intermediary or investor, you need information about this risk that’s based on in-depth market knowledge, forward-looking analyses and transparent criteria. And that’s where our insight is essential.

Historically, partial government shutdowns were typically averted through bipartisan negotiation. Federal government funding extensions have resulted in the passage of a continuing resolution (CR), individual appropriation bills, or some combination. However, heightened discord across party lines regarding some of the Trump administration's spending initiatives could challenge timely passage of a stop-gap funding measure. Because each shutdown is different in terms of which departments are deemed essential, and because usually some functionality remains, we will analyze potential credit impacts once shutdown details are clear.
