Chile's industrial production rose 1.3% year-on-year in June 2026, rebounding from a 7.5% decline in May and marking the first expansion in nine months. The recovery was driven by a 6% increase in mining output, as metallic mining rose 4.6%, non-metallic mining advanced 14.5%, and energy resources production increased 4.3%. Copper production was up 5.1% from a year earlier. Utilities output also grew 2.4%, led by a 3.5% increase in electricity generation, supported by higher output from coal and coal-petcoke power plants. In contrast, manufacturing output contracted 3.2%, mainly due to an 8.1% decline in food production. On a monthly basis, industrial production increased 1.6%. source: National Institute of Statistics, Chile
