Methodology and data notes

This dashboard tracks Chile's Monthly Indicator of Economic Activity (IMACEC), published by the Central Bank of Chile (BCCh). The headline indicators show year-over-year growth using the non-seasonally adjusted index, three-month annualized momentum using the seasonally adjusted index, and month-over-month seasonally adjusted changes. The non-mining measures provide a view of underlying domestic activity excluding the direct contribution from mining. Together, these series provide a timely monthly signal for Chilean GDP growth and the direction of economic momentum.
