Exchange Rate in Chile
Chile's exchange rate from 2013 to 2022 was influenced by commodity prices, particularly copper, and global economic conditions. The Chilean Peso generally maintained stability in the early part of the decade, supported by strong copper prices. However, the 2019 social unrest, 2020 pandemic, more statist economic policy under the new government elected in 2022, and uncertainty over a new constitution have led to significant depreciation in the last few years.
The exchange rate ended 2022 at CLP 852 per USD, compared to the end-2021 value of CLP 852 per USD, and the figure a decade earlier of CLP 525 per USD. For more exchange rate information, visit our dedicated page.
