Chile's Economy Rebounding in June, Quiroz Tells La Tercera

Chile’s economy is showing signs of rebound after a turning point in June, Finance Minister Jorge Quiroz said in an interview published Sunday. Quiroz told La Tercera that momentum should strengthen in the second half of the year. He cited strong copper prices and improving investment as key factors behind the expected recovery. The minister’s comments point to a shift from earlier softness toward a more favorable growth profile as the year progresses. The outlook matters for Chile’s macroeconomic planning because copper remains central to export revenues and fiscal expectations, while investment tends to be a leading indicator for job creation and demand.
