According to the latest analysis by S&P Global Ratings, the recent shutdown of the U.S. federal government is expected to have only a slight impact on GDP growth. However, with the temporary reduction in discretionary spending by the federal government and the sluggish market sentiment, economic uncertainty is on the rise.

Experts from S&P's economic sector estimate that for every week the government shutdown continues, economic growth may decline by 0.1 to 0.2 percentage points. This forecast highlights the potential impact of government operation disruptions on overall economic performance.

Although the short-term impact may be relatively limited, if the government shutdown persists for an extended period, the cumulative effect could become more significant. This situation would not only affect projects and services that directly rely on government funding, but it may also create a ripple effect on consumer confidence and business investment decisions.

Experts point out that, although the currently expected economic impact is relatively mild, the ongoing political deadlock may exacerbate market volatility and could trigger broader economic concerns. Therefore, closely monitoring the developments of the government shutdown and its actual impact on various economic indicators will become increasingly important.

Overall, although the U.S. economy shows some resilience and can withstand the impact of a government shutdown in the short term, in the long run, it is crucial to address political differences in a timely manner and restore normal government operations to maintain stable economic growth.
