Chile

Over the past twenty years, the Chilean economy has occupied the unique position as the most successful economic model in Latin America. As such, the country is the only sovereign in the region which has consistently held an investment grade rating since the late 1980s. Notwithstanding a small population base and extreme domestic geographic and climatic contrasts, Chile operates at production and efficiency levels competitive with the most developed economies of North America, Europe and Asia. The result is an ever-increasing participation in global commerce, through a diversified base of exports, as well as a healthy domestic source of capital which is efficiently invested both at home and abroad. These characteristics have attracted leading international industrial and commercial organizations to seek a presence in this compelling marketplace. Simultaneously, cutting edge Chilean companies have actively expanded beyond their domestic market in search of new investment opportunities and thereby exporting successful operating models to neighboring countries in the region.
