About the Geography
Chile is recognized as one of the most stable, open and competitive economies in Latin America. With a presidential republic at its helm, the recent success of the Chilean economy is based on the export of copper.
With the continued drop in copper prices since 2014, Chile has experienced its second consecutive year of slow growth, elevated inflation and a depreciating currency. To counter this sluggish growth, Chile’s policymakers have been actively seeking foreign investment that shall provide the needed capital and technology for economic development. Chile withdrew from the ANCOM (Andean Common Market) in order to be free from restrictions on foreign investment. Regional incentives are available granting certain benefits, to promote investment in these areas and an all-round development of the country.
Negotiations made mostly in Spanish and weak IPR enforcement are challenges of conducting business in Chile. However, the strengths of the market, which include an open economy, commitment to free trade, a well-developed financial market and economic structure, seem to stand tall among these challenges.
