The Central Bank reported a 2.2% growth in October's Imacec, driven by commerce and services. While the year's accumulated expansion reaches 2.5%, experts warn that December's high comparison base could complicate the government's 2.5% GDP projection for 2025. If achieved, the average under Gabriel Boric's administration would surpass Michelle Bachelet's.
