Though widely condemned for violating human rights and suppressing political free will, dictator August Pinochet’s 16-year reign began a radical turn toward free markets that set the stage for Chile’s current economic policies. Democratically elected governments since the 1990s have largely continued on this path, while also dramatically reducing poverty and increasing global competitiveness.
Over this time, Chile has increasingly assumed regional and international leadership roles befitting its status as a stable, democratic nation. Today, Chile is Latin America’s most competitive economy, ranking first in Latin America and 28th out of 139 countries worldwide in the Global Competitiveness Index calculated by the World Economic Forum. With world-class agriculture, a growing tech infrastructure, and abundant natural resources, Chile is likely to continue to attract investment of all kinds from Latin America and elsewhere.
