Chile

Chile has one of Latin America's wealthiest, most stable, and most open economies, long held up as a regional model, built on free-market policies and abundant mineral wealth, above all copper.

The world's top copper producer, Chile is increasingly central to the energy transition through copper and lithium, though recent years have brought social unrest over inequality and a contested effort to rewrite its constitution.

Key Sectors

The economy is led by copper mining (Chile is the world's largest producer), lithium, agriculture and wine, fishing and forestry, and a sophisticated financial and services sector.
