Peru’s year-on-year inflation saw a slight rebound in September, reaching 1.33 %, according to data from the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI). However, according to the Central Reserve Bank, the indicator remains within the 1 % to 1.3 % range.

On the other hand, last month’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased to 0.04 % compared to August. The items that showed the greatest increase were recreation and culture (0.17 %); healthcare, restaurants, and hotels (both at 0.15 %); miscellaneous goods and services (0.13 %); and furniture, household goods, and home improvement (0.05 %).

The National Institute of Statistics (INEI) also revealed in its report that the cumulative variation for the year is 1.15 %. However, inflation in the Latin American country remains within the 1 % to 3 % range set by the Central Bank of Lima.

Regarding the Consumer Price Index for Metropolitan Limait stood at 0.01 % in September and 1.25 % for the year. Year-over-year inflation was 1.36 %., 

Data on inflation by city indicate that “three cities registered rates above 2%, with Ica standing out at 2.28 %, followed by Tumbes at 2.09 % and Piura at 2.03 %.”

Of the 26 cities where the Consumer Price Index is calculated, 15 reported price increases, with the largest increases in Puerto Maldonado (0.38 %), Puno (0.31 %), Arequipa (0.29 %), and Piura (0.26 %).

Likewise, eleven cities recorded negative results, including Huancavelica (-0.38 %), Moyobamba (-0.34 %), Moquegua (-0.28 %), and Chachapoyas (-0.20 %).

The projection for an increase in inflation for the last quarter of the year is pending, pointing to a closing of 1.8 %, “driven by the low comparison base, and 2.5 % in 2026, due to the normalization of food prices and smaller drops in the exchange rate and inputs,” according to BBVA.

The president of the Central Bank of Chile, Rosanna Costa, announced the projection of the country’s year-on-year inflation, which could remain at 5 % until June.

According to the executive of the regulatory body, this projection is based on “the simultaneous occurrence of cost shocks that, in line with narrow company margins, leads to assuming a greater transfer to prices than previously estimated.”

Costa also indicated that inflation convergence in Chile will occur at the beginning of 2026. In this sense, “monetary policy will continue to be guided by caution.”

The bank will continue to collect information on the development of the economy in order to evaluate “the opportunity to reduce the monetary policy rate in the coming quarters.”

The president of the Central Bank also referred to economic growth, indicating that a slow recovery of private consumption is expected; at the same time, a decrease in the projection for gross fixed capital formation is estimated for this year.

Finally, Costa referred to a possible growth of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) between 1.5 % and 2.5 % in 2025 and 2026, respectively, due to a greater boost in exports and a lower boost in imports in the face of weak domestic demand.
