Chile holds #55 on the headline ranking, against 4 others we score in South America. None of them reach a stronger band than Chile; 1 sits in a weaker one. Their split: 3 in 50–65, 1 in < 35. Brazil tops them at #65; Argentina closes them at #145. No neighbour here outranks Chile; the nearest below is Brazil at #65. Mid-table is where the ranking moves most: a couple of points reshuffles several places. A rising score only buys places in this table when the names above it stand still. Same seven dimensions, same sources, same day.

Questions about the Chile score

What does a score of 58.6 mean for Chile?

58.6/100, band 50–65: some of the discipline holds and some of it slips, which is what the middle looks like. That is 8.6 points above the 50 mid-point of the scale. Seven weighted dimensions produce the figure and no analyst adjusts it afterwards. Nothing in it is a forecast — it grades what Chile's central bank has already done, said and delivered.

How often is Chile's score updated?

Nightly, off that day's public releases; this page carries the 2026-09-10 run. Seven days back it read 55.5, so the week added 3.2. A 90-day trailing average damps single prints, so a weekly move past a couple of points is a real one. Tomorrow's run replaces the 2026-09-10 figure outright rather than revising it in place.

What is the 50–65 credibility band?

Five bands cut the scale — ≥ 80, 65–80, 50–65, 35–50, < 35 — and 50–65 is step 3. Chile clears its 50 floor by 8.6 and stops 6.4 short of 65. The step above is 65–80 and the step below is 35–50. Bands grade monetary behaviour, not default risk, so none of this is a credit rating.
