CHILE: Santander Still Expecting 25BP BCCh Cut Following Activity Data
CHILE
- According to Santander, the stronger than expected Chile Imacec data must be interpreted with caution, due to the influence of transitory factors such as the winter holidays in services and the adjustment in retail trade.
- Additionally, Santander see it difficult for fishing in general terms to sustain this growth and it will probably slow down at the margin. Thus, they maintain their projection of 2.4% GDP growth for the year, although this result gives greater leeway to the future path.
- Therefore, the above does not alter Santander’s scenario for the conduct of monetary policy, where they anticipate a rate cut of 25bp at tomorrow's BCCh Meeting.
