Summary
Chile’s annual inflation rate accelerated to 4.3% in June from 3.9% in May, the highest reading since September 2025.
June consumer prices were flat month on month after a 0.2% rise in May, beating expectations for a 0.2% decline and pointing to firmer price pressure than markets anticipated.
Food and non-alcoholic beverages rose 4.2% from 2.5%, while housing and utilities edged up to 4.3% and alcohol and tobacco to 3.4%; transportation still posted the strongest increase at 8.6%.
Core consumer prices slipped 0.1% in June after a 0.4% increase a month earlier, suggesting Headline inflation was driven more by specific categories than broad-based underlying pressure.
