*Chile’s central bank (BCCh) has released its latest survey of economic expectations, with analysts predicting GDP growth of 2.0% in 2026 and 2.5% in 2027. The 2026 forecast remains the same as the previous survey released in April, but is down from a forecast of 2.5% in March and 2.6% in February. This comes as the BCCh reduced its annual growth projection for 2026 to 1.5-2.5% in March, down from a forecast of 2-3% in December.
