SANTIAGO (Reuters) - Chile's finance minister warned on Tuesday of the "grave consequences" for the nation's economy of three weeks of often violent unrest, after the peso slid 4% to hit a historic low against the dollar.

Ignacio Briones said the weakening of the peso was a "sign of worry" that he and his colleagues were watching very carefully.
