1. Front-page headlines: The Central Bank lowered the benchmark
interest rate to 0.75 percent; sources in the salmon industry
estimate the Chilean salmon industry's bulky debt to be USD 4
billion dollars, which could open a new flank in the financial
crisis.

2. The Government of Chile voiced its rejection to the State
Department's Country Reports on Terrorism 2009, in which it stated
that the Coordinadora Arauco Malleco (CAM),a radicalized indigenous
group, has shown increased planning and a more professional use of
weapons and tactics. Under Secretary of the Interior Patricio
Rosende commented that "we have a somewhat different opinion on the
report. (These) are reports that we receive regularly but they
(consist of) a political analysis." Under Secretary Rosende said,
"We do not share the opinion that the CAM is in the process of
rearticulating . . . We do not see them rearticulating,
reorganizing, or anything like that," he underscored. (La Tercera,
