The White House: US inflation data for October may not be released due to the government shutdown



10/27/2025 - 09:29



The U.S. government may not be able to release the consumer price data for October because of the ongoing government shutdown, according to the White House.



The shutdown has caused a suspension of funding, which stops the data producers from working.

This situation "deprives us of critical information," as stated by the White House in a post on the social media platform X.

The statement also mentioned that this is the first time in history that an inflation report will not be released.

The government shutdown is already the second-longest in history and could set a new record.

With President Donald Trump planning to travel to Asia soon, the shutdown might continue into November. As a result, there is a real chance that this shutdown could surpass the previous record of 35 days, which was set during Trump's first term.

Government agencies stopped operating on October 1 because Congress did not reach an agreement on a funding extension bill.
