Chile’s IMACEC economic activity advanced 1.4 percent year-on-year in February 2019, slowing from a 2.4 percent rise in the previous month and below market expectations of 2 percent. It was the weakest expansion in the economic activity since June 2017, as mining output shrank further (-7.8 percent from -4.3 percent in January) and non-mining activity growth eased (2.4 percent from 3.1 percent) mostly due to services. On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, the economy contracted 0.2 percent, after growing 0.3 percent in the prior month. Leading Economic Index in Chile averaged 3.04 percent from 2009 until 2019, reaching an all time high of 12.60 percent in March of 2011 and a record low of -4.40 percent in February of 2009.
