Chile’s central bank will hold its next monetary policy decision two days earlier than scheduled in a bid to provide “timely information” about the country’s economic situation following weeks of social unrest.

Policy makers will make the rate decision on Dec. 4 and present their quarterly monetary policy report, known as the IPOM, the next day at 8:30 a.m. local time, according to an emailed statement. Previously, the rate decision was scheduled for Dec. 6 and the IPOM for Dec. 9.
