  • Chile’s markets face a sequence of economic data releases and decisions focused on inflation, employment and interest rates.
  • The focus follows a 1.5% year-on-year fall in July’s Imacec, its worst performance in more than three years.

This could be a decisive week for Chile’s economy. Inflation, employment and interest rates will all come under scrutiny after July’s Monthly Economic Activity Indicator, known as Imacec, delivered an unexpected 1.5% year-on-year decline.

The drop marked Imacec’s weakest performance in more than three years. It also sets the stage for a sequence of economic data releases and decisions that could shape the direction of the Chilean economy in the months ahead.

Markets will now watch the incoming figures and policy decisions closely as they assess what the sharp July contraction means for activity, jobs and borrowing costs.
