Inflation analysis
Inflation in Chile
Chile inflation is 2.90% in 2026, following 4.21% in 2025. 57 years of data are available, from 1970.
Chile experienced one of Latin America's most severe inflations in the 1970s. Prices rose by several hundred percent a year during the political and economic crisis surrounding 1973, with the annual rate peaking above 500%. This series begins in 1971 and captures that period directly.
Chile's response included the widespread use of the Unidad de Fomento, an inflation-indexed accounting unit still used today for mortgages and long-term contracts — an institutional adaptation to inflation that few other countries adopted. Chile was an early inflation targeter, and has been one of the region's most stable economies since the 1990s.
The Banco Central de Chile targets 3% inflation with a tolerance band of plus or minus one percentage point.
