SANTIAGO, April 6 (Reuters) - Consumer prices in Chile
rose 1.1% in March, data from statistics agency INE showed on
Thursday, roughly in line with market forecasts as the world's
largest copper producer battles stubbornly high inflation.
The March figure, which reversed an unexpected 0.1% drop
seen in February, took 12-month inflation to 11.1%, slowing down
from 11.9% in the previous month but still well above the
central bank's target range of 2% to 4%.
Economists polled by Reuters had expected a 1.0% rise last
month.
