• Chile’s financial system has undergone significant development this century, with an increase in the number of participants, the variety of products, and market depth.

• Chile‘s financial system is well-developed by emerging market standards, and even by the those set by many OECD partner members. In the 2014 Basel Anti Money Laundering Index Chile outperforms many OECD members. Chile is ranked 14th out of 162 countries and territories, while the United Kingdom is 27, Singapore is 35 and the United States is 52.

• Financial services are regulated and supervised by the Superintendence of Banks and Financial Institutions (SBIF); the Chilean Central Bank and the Superintendence of Securities and Insurance (SVS). The Superintendence of Pensions (SP) supervises the pension system and unemployment insurance.

• The Central Bank enjoys a special independent status under the Bank‘s Constitutional Organic Law. Most capital controls were abolished many years ago, although Central Bank still oversees the foreign exchange regulations and has the power to impose capital controls.

• Chile was the first country in Latin America to become investment grade. Today, it is the best rated country in the region with an AA- (S&P), A+ (Fitch) and Aa3 (Moody’s) investment grade rating.

• Chile is placed 7th amongst 186 countries annually ranked for economic freedom in the latest report by The Heritage Foundation in partnership with the Wall Street Journal. The four pillars of economic freedom are rule of law, limited government, regulatory efficiency, and open markets. Canada is placed 6th while the United States is ranked 12th.

• According to the World Economic Forum, Chile is remains the most competitive economy in Latin America. The country owes this position to a strong institutional setup, with low levels of corruption and an efficient government; solid macroeconomic stability, with a balanced public budget; well-functioning markets with high levels of domestic competition and openness to foreign trade.
