FX.co ★ Chile’s Inflation Reawakens as March CPI Jumps 1.0% After Flat February

Chile’s consumer prices climbed in March 2026, with the month-over-month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 1.0%, according to data updated on 8 April 2026. The increase marks a clear acceleration from February 2026, when monthly inflation was flat at 0.0%.

The March reading, measured on a month-over-month basis, shows that price pressures have picked up after a pause in February. In the comparison framework used, the “actual” figure reflects the change in March relative to February, while the “previous” figure represents February’s change compared with January. The shift from no increase in February to a 1.0% rise in March suggests a renewed build-up of inflationary momentum in Chile’s economy.

While the data provided do not break down the specific drivers behind the move, the headline monthly gain will likely draw attention from policymakers and markets watching for signs of persistent inflation after a brief stabilization in prices.
