# Historic first! White House: It is unlikely to release CPI data next month

The White House stated on Friday that due to the government shutdown, the U.S. government may be unable to release the inflation data for October.

On October 24, the White House posted on X, stating that a lack of funding has prevented investigators from going on-site, "making it impossible for us to obtain critical data." The White House emphasized that this would be "the first time in history" that the data could not be released.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote in another post on X:

> "The Democrats chose to shut down the government, which could very likely lead to the inability to release the October inflation report, throwing businesses, markets, households, and the Federal Reserve into chaos."

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Currently, the U.S. government shutdown has lasted into its fourth week, with Senate Democrats repeatedly blocking temporary spending bills, stating that they cannot support such measures without extending Medicare subsidies.

The funding shortfall has prompted the Trump administration to implement unpaid leave for a large number of federal employees, including staff from key government agencies
