  • Columbia FDI Profiles
    Columbia FDI Profiles Country profiles of inward and outward foreign direct investment issued by the Vale Columbia Center on Sustainable International Investment March 12, 2010 Editor-in-Chief: Karl P. Sauvant Editor: Thomas Jost Managing Editors: Zehra Gulay Kavame and Ana-Maria Poveda-Garces Chile’s outward FDI and its policy context by ∗ Carlos Razo and Álvaro Calderón Despite the recent financial and economic crisis, Chile’s outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) in 2009 surpassed the record level of 2008, reflecting the strength of Chilean firms and the country’s continuous commitment to integrate into the world economy. Two decades ago, Chile was an unlikely foreign direct investor. Today, even with no explicit policies to promote outward investment or the creation of national champions, Chile stands out as the third biggest investor of Latin America in absolute terms and as the first one in proportion to its GDP, even outperforming other emerging economies of similar size in other regions of the world. Trends and developments In the middle of the 1980s, Chile underwent important market reforms that reshaped its private sector. At the time, the country ranked seventh as a foreign direct investor of Latin America and the Caribbean, based on its stock of assets held abroad. However, privatization, deregulation and trade and financial liberalization increased competition in local markets and pushed local firms to raise efficiency. The increased competitiveness of some domestic firms at the beginning of the 1990s led to the emergence of Chilean firms as global players. 1 Today, Chile is the third largest foreign direct investor of the region, only behind Brazil and Mexico.
