FX.co ★ Chile’s Exports Slide in February 2026, Dropping Over $1.5 Billion Month-on-Month

Chile’s export revenues declined notably in February 2026, with total shipments falling to 9,083 million USD from 10,680 million USD recorded in January 2026.

The month-on-month contraction of roughly 1,597 million USD highlights a significant cooling in Chile’s external sales early in the year, following a stronger start in January. While the underlying drivers of the decline are not detailed in the latest release, the shift may draw attention from investors and policymakers who track the country’s export performance as a key indicator of external demand and overall economic momentum.

The updated export figures for February 2026 were released on 9 March 2026, adding fresh data to assessments of Chile’s short-term trade dynamics and potential implications for its balance of payments and fiscal outlook.
