FX.co ★ Chile Inflation Slows in June

In June 2025, Chile's annual inflation rate moderated to 4.1%, down from 4.4% in May. However, it still surpassed the Central Bank's target range of 2–4%. The deceleration was primarily influenced by slower price increases in categories such as food and non-alcoholic beverages, which saw a rise of 2.3% compared to 4.6% previously. Additionally, housing and utilities climbed by 10.5%, down from 10.9%, and clothing and footwear rose by 0.9%, a decrease from 1.2%. Conversely, inflation in financial services intensified, increasing to 4.1% from 3.6%, while the rates for restaurants and lodging remained relatively high at 6.1%, compared to 6.4%. On a monthly basis, consumer prices decreased by 0.4%, reversing May's 0.2% rise and surpassing market predictions of a 0.14% decline.
