Chile’s Consumer Prices Edge Up 0.1% in July, Ending June’s Inflation Pause

Chile’s consumer price index (CPI) inched up 0.1% month-over-month in July 2026, breaking a temporary pause in inflation seen in June, when prices registered no change (0.0%). The latest data, updated on 7 August 2026, show a modest return of price growth after a flat reading in the previous month.

On a month-over-month basis, the “actual” July figure reflects a slight acceleration compared with June’s performance, where the “previous” measure had shown no variation from May. While the movement is small, the shift from 0.0% to 0.1% suggests that price pressures, though still contained, have resumed a gentle upward trajectory as the Chilean economy moves through mid-2026.
