Outlook worsens
‘The economy is inthe midst ofa rocky fourth quarteras President Sebastian
Pinera's efforts to quell the protests that have engulfed the country since
mid-October have so far proved unsuccessful. Amid the upheav
government proposed a rewriting of the constitution, while Congress
‘approved a revised 2020 budget that ramps up public expenditure on
Pensions, healthcare and transport, and is projected to push the fiscal
deficit to 2.9% of GDP from a previously planned 2.0% of GDP. Although
this should provide a temporary boost o private consumption, itis not clear
if higher public expenditure alone will defuse the protests, while business
‘confidence could be hit by heightened uncertainties surrounding a new
constitution. Available data since the start of the turbulence has been
bleak, with economic activity contracting forthe frst ime in two and a half
years in October. This markedly contrasts the third quarter's expansion,
which saw the economy growing at the fastest pace of the year thanks to
blistering fied investment growth and a rebound in exports.
Growth prospects have deteriorated since the wake of the protests in
October, with a majority of panelists subsequently revising down their
projections for 2020, While fiscal concessions should boost private
‘consumption, fixed investment will likely stall as uncertainties weigh on
business confidence. In addition, public debt is seen rising on a wider
fiscal deficit. FocusEconomics panelists see GDP expanding 2.2% in
2020, which is down 0.6 percentage points from last month’s forecast,
‘and 2.8% in 2021
Inflation jumped to 2.5% in October (September: 2.1%), marking a
410-month high and nearing the midpoint of the 2.0%~4.0% target band
{as the rots disrupted the economy. Although weakened demand could
moderate price pressures ahead, the sharp depreciation of the peso and
protracted unrest pose upside risks to inflation. Our panel expects inflation
to end 2020 at 2.8%, which is unchanged from last month's forecast, and
2021 at 2.9%,
Al its 22-23 October meeting, the Central Bank axed the key benchmark
rate by 25 basis points to an over nine-year low of 1.75%, amid subdued
inflation. The next December meeting, which the Bank brought forward by
two days, is Ikely to maintain its dovish bias ahead amid downside risks
to growth stemming from the recent wave of protests. The Consensus
projects the policy rate to end 2020 at 1.40% and 2021 at 2.07%.
Social unrest continued to heavily weigh on the peso in recent weeks,
despite a brief respite prompted by the Central Bank’s intervention on
14 November. On 29 November, CLP traded at 805, a 9.6% depreciation
from the same day last month. Going forward, most analysts expect the
peso will recover somewhat thanks to the country’s strong fundamentals.
Our panelists expect the peso to end 2020 at 749 CLP per USD and 2021
at 721 CLP per USD,

‘Gross Domestic Product | variation in %
REAL SECTOR | Economy expands at the fastest pace this year in Q3
Growth clocked in at 3.3% year-on-year in the third quarter, accelerating from
the second quarter's 1.9% increase and marking the fastest expansion so far
this year. The upturn was broad-based and came largely in line with market
expectations.
Domestic activity gained traction in the third quarter, Private consumption
growth firmed up following a downturn in the previous quarter (Q3: +3.0%
year-on-year; Q2: +2.4% yoy), chiefly thanks to a notable increase in services
‘consumption, which more than offset weaker consumption of durable goods.
On top of that, fixed investment continued to gather momentum and increased
at the swiftest pace in four years in the third quarter (Q3: +5.9% yoy; Q2:
+#5.3% yoy), supported by booming investment activity in the construction
sector. Lastly, annual growth in public spending remained unchanged at the
previous quarter's 1.9% in Q3.
On the extemal front, operating conditions also improved in the third quarter.
Exports rebounded following two consecutive months of contraction (C3:
#+1.2% yoy; Q2: -3.4% yoy), amid an uptum in copper production, which
buoyed overall exports, Meanwhile, imports contracted again in the third
quarter, although the deciine was less sharp than in the second quarter (Q3:
“1.8% yoy; Q2: -3.5% yoy). As a result, the external sector's contribution to
growth improved considerably in Q3.
Looking at the industry-level performance, the third-quarter uptum was
similarly broad-based. Mining GDP increased 1.4% year-on-year in 3,
“which was up from the 0.2% uptick recorded in Q2 and marked the strongest
expansion since Q2 2018. Furthermore, non-mining GOP growth jumped to
3.6% annually in Q3, from 2.1% in Q2.
(On a quarter-on-quarter, seasonally-adjusted basis, GOP rose 0.7% in 03,
‘matching the previous quarter's outturn,
Looking forward, growth prospects forthe Chilean economy have deteriorated
significantly since mid-October, when widespread protests and riots erupted
over deep-rooted socio-economic inequality, fueling the biggest political crisis
since the country retumed to democracy. Consequently, shoriterm growth
prospects have dampened considerably, while uncertainty is elevated over
the country’s political and economic course going forward.
With regards to the impact of the protests on GDP growth going forward,
Diego W. Pereira and Lucila Barbeito, analysts at JPMorgan, nated:
“In our estimates, potential GDP would be lower both in 2020 and 2021. Some
months ago the BCCh revised potential GDP higher, mainly on the back of
the immigration impact on the labor market, to 3.4% for 2020 and 2021. But
following the social unrest shock, we believe potential GDP should be revised
lower. We work under the assumption of potential GDP at 2.2% and 2.6%
for 2020 and 2021, respectively. Note that despite the hefty reduction to the
potential GDP gauge, the output gap would widen a bit in 2020, starting to
narrow in 2021 (by then we estimate GDP growth at 3.0%y/)
In its September assessment, the Central Bank saw the economy
expanding between 2.8%-3.8% in 2020 and between 3.0%-4.0% in 2021

Economic Activity | variation in %
Consumer Confidence
FocusEconomics panelists see growth of 2.2% in 2020, down 0.6 percentage
points from last month’s forecast, For 2021 they expect the economy to grow
28%.
REAL SECTOR | Economic activity crashes to over-decade low in
October on country-wide protests
In October, the IMACEC economic activity Index contracted 3.4% on an annual
basis, contrasting September's 3.0% expansion and marking the lowest print
since June 2009,
October's slump was chiefly driven by a 4.0% dive in the nonemining
economy, which contrasted the 3.6% expansion logged a month prior, as
civil unrest routed supply chains and hampered demand across the service,
manufacturing and commerce sectors, Conversely, the mining economy
rebounded by 2.0%, after contracting 1.6% in September.
In month-or-month seasonally-adjusted terms, economic activity fell 5.4%
‘over the previous month in October, following September's 0.5% contraction.
In view of October's result, Daniela Velandia, analyst at Credicorp Capital
noted
"We expect social unrest to continue affecting economic growth in the
upcoming months as activity in several sectors has not returned to full
normaly yet and the agenda of the government has changed, This, together
with the disappointing Oct-19 data, means that itis highly likely that 4019
GDP growth will be negative, which in turn would lead 2019 economic growth
to stand below our current 1.7% forecast”
‘OUTLOOK | Consumer sentiment falls to three-year low in October
The Adimark GfK consumer confidence index fell to 36.7 points in October,
the lowest print since October 2016, from 38.6 points in September, thus
falling further below the critical 50-point threshold that separates pessimism
from optimism among Chilean consumers.
October's detailed estimate showed that consumers’ current conditions and
future prospects deteriorated. Chileans were more pessimistic about both the
‘country’s current situation and their current personal conditions. Meanwhile,
their outlook of the country’s stability in the next five years plunged deeper
into negative territory, while their willingness to purchase big ticket household
items also deteriorated further. In contrast, consumers’ prospects of the
country's economic conditions over the next year improved, although they
remained negative overall
Panelists participating in the LatinFocus Consensus Forecast expect private
consumption to grow 2.1% in 2020, which is down 0.9 percentage points from
last month's forecast. For 2021, the panel expects private consumption to
grow 2.8%,
OUTLOOK | Business confidence falls to record-low in November amid
wide spread protests
The business confidence index (IMCE), published by ICARE and the Adolfo
Ibafez University, plummeted to 36.6 points in November, contrasting the
previous month's §1.5 points results and marking the lowest print in the series
history. As a result, the index dived below the crucial 50-point threshold that

separates pessimism from optimism among the Chilean businesses. The
downturn reflected heightened uncertainties stemming from civil unrests that
has rocked the country since mid-October and the proposed rewriting of the
‘country’s constitution,
All four subcomponents ofthe index fell markedly in November. Confidence in
the commerce sector tumed pessimistic, while confidence in the construction
and industrial sectors fell deeper into negative territory. Meanwhile, although
sentiment in the mining sector fel significantly it remained in positive territory
Panelists surveyed for this month's LatinFocus report project fixed investment
to expand 1.3% in 2020, which is down 2.6 percentage points from last
month's forecast. For 2021, they project itto grow 3.4%.
MONETARY SECTOR | Inflation rises to 10-month high in October
Consumer prices rase 0.8% in October, after seeing no growth in September.
According to the national statistical institute, prices for housing and transport
saw the largest increases. Meanwhile, core consumer prices rose 0.5%, up
from 0.1% in September.
Inflation logged 2.5% in October, accelerating from September's 2.1% and
‘marking the highest print since December 2018. Similarly, core inflation rose
to 2.6% (September: 2.3%). In response to the jump in inflation, which largely
reflected supply shocks caused by protests, the Central Bank brought their
meeting forward to 6 December,
Annual average inflation, meanwhile, came in at 2.2%, marginally below
September's 2.3%.
Reflecting on the path of monetary policy ahead analysts at Credicorp Capital
noted
“The discussion on the future path of monetary policy remains both
challenging and interesting. Overall, most part of the analysts have changed
their mind from expecting further rate cuts as soon as this week to project,
rnot movements in the upcoming months. It has been mainly explained by the
sharp CLP depreciation that led the BCCh to intervene directly in the FX spot
‘market forthe fist time since 2011."
In their September's assessment the Central Bank projected year-end inflation
of 2.8% in 2020 and of 3.0% in 2021. FocusEconomics Consensus Forecast
panelists expect inflation to end 2020 at 2.8%, which is unchanged from last
month's forecast, and at 2.9% in 2021,
Meanwiile, the current Consensus is for the Central Bank's policy rate to
remain broadly unchanged in the near-term, ending 2020 at 1.40% and 2021
at 2.07%.
MONETARY SECTOR | Peso dives to a new record low as civil turmoil
persists in November
Capital outfiows drove the Chilean peso to an all-time low in November, as
protests showed no signs of abating. On 28 November, the peso ended the
day at 805 per USD, a 9.62% depreciation from the same day in October, The
result marked a 13.8% depreciation year-to-date and a 16.7% loss from the
same day last year.

‘After the Central Bank's intervention on 14 November brought a brief
respite, the peso continued to depreciate in recent weeks as the prospects
of prolonged uncertainty stemming from the drafting of a new constitution
and cooling economic activity dampened investors’ sentiment. On 28
November, the Central Bank thus announced a USD 20 billion injection, the
largest intervention since 1999, through swap and repo operations between
2 December and 24 May 2020, While the decision is certain to erode the
country’s USD 39:5 billion worth of foreign currency reserves, itis not clear
‘whether it wll stem the peso's plunge.
With regard to the Central Bank's intervention, analysts at JPMorgan noted:
“The stress the peso is suffering obeys to stability considerations amid a
protracted scenario of social unrest and street violence, which has prompted
an abrupt portfolio repositioning against the backdrop of the pronounced stress
and uncertainty. Thus, should the uncertainty extend further, the idea of BCCh
sacrificing half of the reserves stock could exacerbate financial pressures. Yet,
the low gross and net indebtedness of the public sector should be addressed
‘when entertaining the actual macroeconomic buffers of the economy. For
‘example, the low gross debt level allows the country to quickly negotiate an
FCL line with the IMF so to engross the level of gross FX reserves.
(Our panel sees the peso recovering going forward. As it stands, they see the
currency ending 2020 at 749 per USD and 2021 at 721 per USD.
EXTERNAL SECTOR | Copper prices pick up in November
Copper prices gained some ground in November, buoyed by optimism over
a U.S-China trade deal. On average, prices for the red metal logged USD
2.66 per pound (equivalent to USD 5,860 per ton), up from October's average
price of USD 2.61 per pound (equivalent to 5,757 per ton). However, prices
‘were 5.4% lawer than in the same month last year and down 1.3% on a year-
to-date basis.
Copper prices gained some ground in recent weeks following Donald Trump's
announcement on 26 November that ‘phase one” ofatrade deal wth Chinawas
near completion. In addition, supply-side constraints in Chile likely supported
prices over the past month, as the top copper producer struggled to quell
‘country-wide protests, Prices, however, slipped at the end of November after,
diplomatic support from the U.S. to Hong Kong cast doubt on a preliminary
resolution ofthe trade war with China.
The evolution of the U.S.-China trade negotiations will continue to shape
the outlook for copper, with price volatility stemming from sudden animosity
between the two countries likely to persist in the short-run. The medium-term
outlook looks brighter, however, as refined production lags behind usage,
‘amid limited production capacity and increasing demand for copper in new
technologies such as electric vehicles and greeneneray projects.
(Our panelists expect copper prices to end 2020 at USD 2.77 per pound and
2021 at USD 2.81 per pound
