Since 2025, Chile’s economy has moved through a stage of moderate growth — with some factors constraining expansion and others enabling partial advances.
In June 2025, the Central Bank of Chile revised its GDP growth forecast upward to a range of 2%–2.75%, compared with earlier estimates. For 2026 and 2027, growth is expected to hover around 1.5%–2.5%. Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects Chile’s real GDP growth at about 2%, according to its April update.

Key growth drivers, according to Q2 2025 Central Bank reports, include domestic demand and investment. GDP rose 3.1% during the quarter, while household consumption also increased 3.1% YoY.
Retail trade indicators are encouraging. The Commerce Activity Index (IAC) from the National Institute of Statistics (INE) shows year-over-year retail sales growth every month — in some cases above 5% (July reached +5.7% YoY) — fueled mainly by electronics, home equipment, and durable goods. The IAC also shows strong expansion in supermarkets, the automotive sector, wholesale trade, and e-commerce (which posted +14.7% YoY over the past 12 months).
These figures suggest that while retail faces challenges — such as purchasing power and inflation — certain segments remain dynamic and play a critical role in overall economic growth.
