SANTIAGO, May 8 (Reuters) - Consumer prices in Chile
rose 0.3% in April, data from statistics agency INE showed on
Monday, slightly below market forecasts and slowing down from
the 1.1% increase seen in the previous month.
The fresh figure took 12-month inflation in the world's
largest copper producer to 9.9%, below the 11.1% reported in
March although still well above the central bank's target range
of 2% to 4%.
Economists polled by Reuters had expected a 0.4% rise last
month.
