07:09 AM EDT, 10/29/2025 (MT Newswires) -- In a unanimous decision, as expected by markets, the Board of Chile's central bank (BCCh) kept its monetary policy rate (MPR) unchanged at 4.75% on Tuesday, said Societe Generale.

The CCCh statement notes that while economic data have evolved in line with projections from the September Monetary Policy Report (IPoM), risks to the inflation outlook remain.

As a consequence, BBCh will "gather more information before continuing the process of leading the MPR to converge to its neutral range of values," pointed out the bank.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
