    [SANTIAGO] Chile's central bank on Wednesday announced a US$4 billion injection to stop a currency slide that saw the peso reach historic lows on two successive days.

    The peso fell to 795 to the dollar at the close on Wednesday after a previous record low of 783 on Tuesday.

    The bank said it had taken the measure to "mitigate eventual tensions" in the financial markets.
