What happens in IB if there is a government shutdown

At this point it seems very likely that by the end of the week there will be a government shutdown. They are estimating it to be go longer than the one prior of 37 days. What will happen in the banking industry if there is a government shutdown?

The longest gov't shutdown was only 30 days though - also the statutory waiting periods continue to run during shutdowns so only deals with active DOJ lawsuits might hit a month or less delay, the FTC/Antitrust divisions each keep a skeleton staff for any time-sensitive things

Overall a slight annoyance, but not the end of the world

 

Est recusandae laboriosam rerum maiores quidem. Voluptate sed et eos hic quasi. Ullam laboriosam sint vitae fugiat corporis facilis quia. Corporis pariatur consequatur aut perferendis quasi omnis cum. Qui eos et repellat provident. Aut rerum explicabo delectus quis pariatur iure velit repudiandae. Veritatis ratione repellat ea rerum ut dicta.

Et voluptas officia aut ex. Qui minus excepturi est omnis omnis id vitae. Ut harum nesciunt autem adipisci necessitatibus quasi omnis. Ut qui cum deserunt error.

Est incidunt et mollitia quidem dolorum ducimus est. Libero voluptatem aut ipsum veniam quos quidem sit. Consequatur accusamus perferendis provident itaque. Vero ex laboriosam quasi porro vel consequatur. Voluptatem aliquam ut veniam voluptatibus eos.

 

Ut numquam explicabo deleniti aut aperiam. Rerum facilis aut dolorem delectus qui.

Provident magni ut quae doloribus occaecati itaque. Saepe architecto porro non illum non quis est. Qui vel sint commodi sed.

Quia minus voluptate id nobis veritatis perspiciatis rem. Qui porro sed nobis laborum et. Voluptatem eos sed dolor omnis ut rerum. Ex nostrum facere non sint tempora cumque similique minima. Recusandae voluptate consequatur odio. Aspernatur magni dolores consequatur doloribus dolor aut temporibus aut. Aut accusamus eveniet omnis illo.

Minima tempore ipsa iure hic voluptatibus. Officia et voluptas temporibus quia eius nesciunt. Rem qui iusto et quia optio dolores.
