(Bloomberg) Chileâs central bank held its benchmark interest rate at a record low as tighter lockdowns and an unprecedented surge in virus cases reinforce the need for stimulus in one of Latin Americaâs richest nations.
In a unanimous decision, the bankâs board, led by its President Mario Marcel, kept the overnight rate at 0.5% for the eighth straight meeting on Tuesday. The decision was expected by all 14 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
The rate âwill remain at its minimum of 0.5% until the economic recovery takes hold and spreads to the most lagging areas of spending, which will still take several quarters.â
