Inflation as measured by annual growth rate of GDP implicit deflator NY.GDP.DEFL.KD.ZG
Chile's gdp deflator was 6.42% in 2025, ranked 91st globally. This represents a 16.7% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1961–2025.
Overview
Chile's gdp deflator stood at 6.42% in 2025, a decline of +1.29pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 6.42% by 2025. Chile ranked 91st globally.
Chile’s GDP deflator has risen modestly from 6.30 % in 1961 to 6.42 % in 2025, placing the country 91st globally and closely aligned with peers such as the European Union (6.41 %) and Mauritius (6.46 %). The indicator’s long‑run record is dominated by an extraordinary peak of 686.31 % in 1974, a product of hyperinflation during the early Pinochet era, and a historic trough of 0.31 % in 2008, reflecting the deflationary pressures of the global financial crisis. Over the 65‑year span, Chile’s price level has remained relatively stable, indicating effective monetary policy after the 1970s volatility. The recent modest increase suggests a gradual return to inflationary dynamics, but continued fiscal discipline and external price stability could keep the deflator anchored near its current level, limiting upward pressure in the coming years.
