Description
For over three decades, Chile has made FDI an essential part of its national development strategy. Chile’s sound, market-oriented policies have created significant opportunities for foreign investors to participate in the country’s steady economic growth. Chile’s business climate is generally straightforward and transparent. Foreign investors receive treatment similar to Chilean nationals, and there is no overall economic or industrial strategy that has discriminatory effects on foreign investors or foreign-owned investments. A broad political consensus on the advantages of foreign investment means that, despite the currently ongoing replacement of part of its regulatory framework, the favorable orientation of Chile’s policies toward FDI is unlikely to suffer significant changes.
