The Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) in Chile marked a modest increase in March 2025, rising from 0.3% in February to 0.4% in March, according to the latest data updated on April 8, 2025. This month-over-month comparison highlights a slight rise in inflationary pressure in the Chilean economy as it steps into the second quarter of the year.

The month of February saw a stable yet restrained increase in the Core CPI at 0.3%, which has now incrementally risen by 0.1 percentage points. This movement indicates recovering demand or pricing changes in core goods and services excluding volatile items such as food and energy.

This slight uptick in March aligns with what economists might expect in anticipation of sustained economic recovery and growth activities influencing price stability. The changing economic cadence is one to watch for policymakers and investors who are closely observing shifts in inflation as an indicator of broader economic health in Chile. The coming months will be critical in assessing whether this trend will continue or if corrective measures may need to be enacted to maintain economic stability.
