*Chile’s central bank (BCCh) has released the latest figures for its economic activity index (Imacec) which showed a 0.1% year-on-year fall in March and a 0.3% rise compared to February. This compares with an annual and monthly fall of 0.3% in the Imacec in February. According to the BCCh, the year-on-year result for March was mainly driven by a 5.2% fall in the production of goods, which was partially offset by a 5.1% increase in trade and a 2.1% rise in services year-on-year. In monthly terms, goods production was down 0.6%, while trade was up 1.9% and services increased by 0.4%. The non-mining Imacec increased by 0.9% in annual terms and was up 0.5% in monthly terms.
