Is your business affected by the government shutdown?
Poll Description

Sponsored by Kennebunk Savings Bank

The federal government shut down at midnight on Oct. 1 over a budget stalemate. The standoff in Washington comes on top of changing policies on tariffs and trade.

The shutdown curtailed the release of monthly reports on the country's trade balance, consumer prices, retail sales and producer price. In Maine, much of the Acadia National Park staff was put on furlough, though roads and campgrounds were still accessible. 

The last shutdown stretched over 35 days from Dec. 22, 2018, to Jan. 25, 2019.

A shutdown of less than two weeks is "unlikely to have a material impact on the economy or household finances," the president of a Maine credit union told Mainebiz last week.
