Chile’s retail sector showed stronger momentum in May 2026, with year-over-year sales growth edging up to 4.8%, according to data updated on 30 June 2026. The reading marks an improvement from April 2026, when retail sales had grown 4.1% compared with the same month a year earlier.
Both figures are based on year-over-year comparisons, measuring the change in retail sales for each month against the corresponding month in the previous year. The pickup from April to May suggests consumer demand in Chile continued to firm heading into mid‑2026, offering a positive signal for domestic consumption and the broader economy.
