FX.co ★ Chile Inflation Rate Slows to 4.5% in April

In April 2025, Chile's annual inflation rate eased to 4.5%, down from March's 4.9%, marking the 16th month in succession that inflation has surpassed the Chilean central bank's target range of 2% to 4%. This reduction was largely attributed to a slowdown in price increases across 9 of the 13 subsectors. Specifically, inflation decreased in categories such as food and non-alcoholic beverages (4.4% compared to 5.1% in March), recreation and culture (2.2% versus 2.4%), housing and utilities (10.6% compared to 11%), restaurants and hotels (6.7% compared to 6.8%), along with transportation (0.4% against 1.6%). On a month-to-month basis, consumer prices rose by 0.2% in March, a decline from February's 0.5% increase, which aligned with market expectations.
