Inflation in Chile
Inflation over the last decade was managed within the central bank's target range of 2 to 4% in the first part of the decade. However, social unrest in 2019, global supply disruptions and fiscal stimulus brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic led to increased inflationary pressures. The central bank responded with monetary tightening to control rising prices. This had the desired effect; inflation subsided in 2023 and 2024. That said, price pressures saw some upward pressure in late 2024 and heading into 2025 due to several rounds of electricity tariff hikes.
In the year 2024, the inflation in Chile was 4.27%, compared to 4.71% in 2014 and 7.58% in 2023. It averaged 4.64% over the last decade. For more inflation information, visit our dedicated page.
