The Bureau of Economic Analysis, a federal agency that produces official statistics on the U.S. economy, is required to suspend all operations until Congress appropriates funding for this fiscal year, the bureau announced in a statement today. Data available as of today is expected to remain available online but without updates or technical assistance. The bureau will suspend any economic data release scheduled to occur while the federal government is shut down.
