SANTIAGO, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Chile's inflation reached
0.8% in January, government statistics agency INE said on
Wednesday, accelerating from the 0.3% reported in the previous
month and above an expected 0.5% in a Reuters poll of
economists.
The monthly figure took the Andean country's 12-month rate
of consumer price increases to 12.3%, still far from the central
bank's target range of 2% to 4%.
