Chile Economic Growth Slows




Chile’s economic growth slowed in April, with GDP expanding by only 2.8% year on year. Chile’s Central Bank said a slowdown in manufacturing and retail led to the drop in the pace of growth and may lead the Bank to hold back with increases in interest rates. Central bankers are scheduled to review rates on June 15. They last raised the benchmark rate in mid-April when they increased it by 25 basis points to 5%.
