Fitch cuts Chile 2026 growth forecast to 0.7%, holds A- rating

Fitch affirmed Chile's A- rating with a stable outlook, citing solid public debt and institutional strength, but slashed its 2026 GDP growth forecast from 1.6% to 0.7%. The downgrade signals a weaker near-term growth path, though the stable outlook suggests no imminent rating action. This matters as it may pressure Chilean assets and reflect broader regional growth concerns.
