The buying fever unleashed among Chilean consumers by the increase in household liquidity in 2021, combined with other factors, has brought back the much-feared inflation. The foreign trade figures illustrate very well the buying appetite of Chileans in 2021.

Imports of consumer goods grew by 75% in 2021, totaling US$19 billion. This growth was much higher than that shown by imports of capital goods (+46%) or oil (+57%).
