CHILE: Central bank raises rates
The central bank raised interest rates by half a percentage point to
6.75% on 10 June. The bank said that it was taking this action because of the
poor outlook for inflation. It said that to delay raising rates would limit its
ability to meet the official 3% annual inflation target. The bank last raised
rates in January, by 0.25 of a percentage point.
