Latest Updates

Chile posted a current account deficit of $4.6 billion in the third quarter of 2025, widening from the $2.4 billion gap from the corresponding period of the previous year to reflect the largest deficit in two years. The goods account surplus narrowed to $2.4 billion from $4.1 billion last year amid as a surge in imports more than offset the slight growth in exports. In the meantime, the deficit in the primary account widened to $4.8 billion from $4 billion. In turn, the service gap narrowed slightly ($-2.3 billion vs $-2.3 billion in Q3 2024), while the secondary account remained relatively balanced.
