Chile’s economic activity rebounded strongly in June 2026, with the indicator rising 2.4% year-over-year, according to data updated on 3 August 2026. The improvement marks a sharp turnaround from May 2026, when activity contracted by 0.9% compared with the same month a year earlier.
The figures, based on a year-over-year comparison, show that after a brief setback in May, Chile’s economy regained momentum in June. The “actual” June reading reflects the change versus June of the previous year, while the “previous” figure captures May’s performance versus May a year earlier, highlighting a clear shift from decline to growth over the two-month period.
The latest data suggests a notable strengthening in underlying economic conditions, with June’s positive reading standing in contrast to the weakness recorded in May. Market participants and policymakers will be watching coming months closely to assess whether June’s rebound signals the start of a more sustained recovery in Chilean activity.
