Chile continues to be a leader in Latin America. In the past 25 years we have successfully integrated into the world economy, reached a public-private partnership adjusted per capita gross domestic product (GDP) of $23,000, the highest in the region. We have decreased our poverty rate and made progress in income distribution.
We have become a globalised economy, with a wide network of trade agreements: 25 free-trade agreements with 64 countries, accounting for 94% of Chile’s exports, and more than 60% of our GDP is linked to trade. Chile’s long-standing political and economic stability, transparency and competitiveness, as well as its dynamic business community, have made the country an excellent destination for foreign investment.
