Chile is the best evaluated economy in Latin America and, indeed, one of the best evaluated among emerging economies worldwide. Its sustained economic growth and social progress have been highlighted by different international organizations and, in 2010, it became the first South American country to join the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

Over the past 30 years, Chile’s financial system has undergone significant development, with an increase in the number of participants, the variety of products and market depth. Chile’s banking system is largely privately-owned (except for BancoEstado), with a significant presence of foreign-owned subsidiaries. Currently, there are 23 banks in Chile: 18 are considered “established in Chile", 4 are subsidiaries of foreign banks and one is state-owned. All banks are subject to supervision by the Superintendency of Banks and Financial Institutions (SBIF) and are governed by the General Banking Act and by regulations issued by the SBIF. According to the OECD (in its latest economic review of Chile - October 2013), the financial system remains healthy and reflects strong financial supervision. HEALTHY FINANCIAL SYSTEM

5. A NEW FDI ATTRACTION POLICY

 That adds value to our exports.  That energizes highly concentrated markets.  That generates quality jobs and permits development of our human capital.  That points to long-term sustainable growth.  With high quality standards and best practices.  That permits good productive linkage with local suppliers.  Seeking innovative and technological development.  In different regions and key economic sectors. WE ARE LOOKING FOR MORE AND BETTER FDI

This year, the government presented to Congress a bill to create a new institutional framework for the promotion and attraction of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Chile. The new framework will comprise a Committee of Ministers to advise the President of the Republic on policy design and a Foreign Investment Promotion Agency in line with OECD standards charged with policy implementation. It includes the creation of a new agency that will focus on promoting foreign investment in those sectors that are strategic or need to attract investment of this type. Its powers will allow it to serve as the body that coordinates efforts to attract investment in Chile and will include establishing a foreign investment promotion and attraction strategy, tying in investment attraction with country’s productive development strategy. The bill recognizes foreign investors’ guarantee of access to the formal foreign exchange market and of the right to repatriate capital and earnings whilst safeguarding the Central Bank’s powers in this field. It also guarantees foreign investors freedom from arbitrary discrimination. A NEW INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK

In addition, the bill modernizes and updates the procedure for obtaining exemption from sales tax (VAT) on capital goods imported by foreign investors for projects under DL 600. This modification seeks to promote the development of large investment projects in Chile which, because of their nature, take a long time and to prevent them from incurring high financial costs in their prior and initial stages. In order to permit the players’ adaptation to the change of foreign investment regime and in line with the Advisory Commission’s proposals, the bill stipulates that, for a maximum period of four years, foreign investors will be able to request authorization for their planned investments under the terms of Article N° 3 of DL 600, with the rights and obligations envisaged in this law but with a total locked-in tax rate of 44.45%. In addition, the bill regulates the effects of contracts signed under DL 600 so as to ensure the full application of the rights and obligations acquired by foreign investors under this legal regime.
