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 established and operating in the country: 18 of them are considered “established in Chile", 4 are subsidiaries of foreign banks and one is State-owned. All banks are subject to the supervision of the Superintendence of Banks and Financial Institutions (SBIF) and are ruled by the General Banking Act and by regulations issued by SBIF. According to the OECD (in its latest economic review about Chile- October 2013) the financial system remains healthy and reflects strong financial supervision. HEALTHY FINANCIAL SYSTEM
