The Central Bank of Chile raised its benchmark monetary policy interest rate by 50 basis points to 4.00% from 3.50% in order to fight second round effects from a spike in commodity prices. Chile reported inflation of 2.7% in February, compared to the Bank's 3% inflation target, while core CPI rising 0.2% from the previous month. The Bank noted it would continue to reduce monetary stimulus, and seek to anchor inflation expectations, in the context of domestic and external economic conditions.
