In brief: Chile maintains trade surplus in August
* Chile’s central bank (BCCh) has published national accounts for August, which indicate a trade surplus of US$904m. Exports for the month totalled US$5.42bn (with copper contributing just over half at US$2.76bn), while imports came in at US$4.52bn. Both exports and imports were down slightly on July figures, exports by US$420m and imports by US$151m. Both figures are also somewhat less than those recorded in August 2019, with exports down by US$654m year-on-year, and imports by US$1.31bn. However, Chile’s trade balance has remained in the black throughout 2020.
