智利总统何塞·安东尼奥·卡斯特正致力于重振经济，分析师预计今年经济将几乎零增长。其政府已宣布计划创造10万个新就业岗位，并颁布了全面立法，将降低企业税并为大型投资项目提供担保。尽管如此，失业率仍处于五年多来的高位，信心低迷，且恶劣天气已连续数月重创铜产量。

央行官员上周维持借贷成本在4.5%不变，并警告通胀风险和消费者价格预测正在上升，尽管近期数据显示消费和投资仍然疲弱。这种看法助长了政策制定者可能在未来几个月加息的猜测。
Central bankers held borrowing costs steady at 4.5% last week and warned that inflation risks and consumer price forecasts are rising even as recent data show consumption and investment remain weak. That view is fueling speculation that policymakers could lift rates in coming months.
