The U.S. Congressional Budget Office predicts that a government shutdown would affect fourth-quarter GDP growth.

【U.S. nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office: Government shutdown would reduce fourth-quarter GDP growth by 2 percentage points】

Washington time October 29, 2025, the U.S. nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) stated in a statement:

The impact of a government shutdown on the economy is uncertain, and these impacts depend on the decisions made by the government during the shutdown. A government shutdown would reduce GDP growth in the fourth quarter of 2025 by up to 2 percentage points, but most of the decline will be recovered eventually. Once the government reopens, most of the salaries and programs that were halted will be compensated.
