Exchange Rate in Chile
Chile's exchange rate over the last decade was influenced by commodity prices, particularly copper, and global economic conditions. The Chilean Peso generally maintained stability in the early part of the decade, supported by strong copper prices. However, the 2019 social unrest, 2020 pandemic, more statist economic policy under the Boric administration, the constitutional reform process plus persistently higher inflation than in the U.S. have led to significant depreciation in the last few years.
The exchange rate ended 2024 at CLP 994.5, compared to the end-2023 value of CLP 873.3 and the figure a decade earlier of CLP 606.9. It averaged CLP 757.1 over the last decade. For more exchange rate information, visit our dedicated page.
