Chile’s gross domestic product rose 17.2 percent in the third quarter of 2021, easing from an 18.1 percent growth in the previous period and below market expectations of a 17.6 percent expansion. It was the second-fastest pace of expansion of the Chilean economy on record, solely behind the previous quarter, uplifted from low base year effects from the pandemic and reflecting the opening of the economy and the government’s fiscal stimuli. Economic growth was mostly driven by personal services (24.5 percent vs 35.6 percent in Q2), trade (29 percent vs 42.6 percent), restaurants, and hotels (86.7 percent vs 73.6 percent), manufacturing (12.4 percent vs 15.4 percent), and communications (13.3 percent vs 9.4 percent). On the other hand, output contracted for mining activity (-4 percent vs 2.7 percent), particularly copper (-6.7 percent vs 1.7 percent). On a seasonally adjusted quarterly basis, the economy expanded 4.9 percent, following an upwardly revised 1.6 percent jump in Q2. source: Banco Central de Chile
