CEP survey shows rising economic pessimism under Kast government

The latest poll from the Centro de Estudios Públicos released on June 10, 2026, indicates a rise in pessimism among Chileans about the country's economic situation.

According to the results, 54% of respondents consider Chile stagnant and 26% believe it is in decline. Some 45% rated the current economic situation as very bad, while only 11% described it as good. Regarding 12-month expectations, the share expecting a worsening rose from 15% to 31%. CEP public opinion coordinator Sandra Quijada noted 'a certain pessimism at the beginning of this government'. The opposition reacted promptly. PS leader Paulina Vodanovic said there is 'no security on the streets, nor economic security for people'. PPD president Raúl Soto criticized 'bad decisions in economic matters' and 'very bad management in security'.
