The Central Bank of Chile published its Price Determinants and Expectations Survey covering April through June 2026. Companies reported stronger cost pressures and higher selling prices, while median inflation expectations remained at 4% for the 12-month horizon and 3.5% for 24 months. Costs, input availability and the exchange rate exerted greater upward pressure on selling prices in recent months. Sales were broadly unchanged from the previous rolling quarter, and profit margins continued to deteriorate, though less sharply. The shares of companies expecting input costs and selling prices to rise over the next 12 months declined slightly.
