The Foreign Investment Committee is formed by the Ministers of Economy (who acts as president of the Committee), Finance, Foreign Relations and Planning as well as the president of the Central Bank. Other ministers responsible for specific economic sectors are also invited to participate in meetings whenever deemed necessary. Mission To help position Chile as a highly attractive destination for foreign investment and international business through its operational role in administering matters related to the corresponding legal norms, by developing promotional activities of different types and by participating in international negotiations. Strategic objectives 1. To administer DL 600 in order to ensure its correct application and to support international negotiation of the investment chapters of bilateral and/or multilateral agreements, providing advisory services on matters of the Committees concern. 2. To develop all types of initiatives to communicate, promote, coordinate and implement measures to foster the entry of foreign investment. 3. To maintain an up-to-date and accurate statistical register of foreign investment through DL 600. Executive Vice-presidency The Foreign Investment Committee is headed and managed by an Executive Vice-President who is appointed by the President of the Republic. The Executive Vice-Presidency provides general information and guidance to any investor about Chile, its economic and social environment, legal framework and policies on FDI. When requested, it provides information on how to begin the process of setting up a businesses in Chile as well as the procedures and regulations to which any investor must adhere, whether signing a DL 600 contract or not, at the national, regional and sector-specific levels. In order to promote Chile as an attractive place to invest, the Executive Vice-Presidency coordinates business missions abroad, organizes seminars and conferences and publishes regular reports about Chile's business climate and about investment opportunities, both in print and electronic form. In developing these promotional activities, it works with other ministries and State agencies as well as with the local and foreign private sector. 7 EDITORIAL O ver the past quarter of a century, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has played a decisive role in Chile's economic growth and development. Since 1990, overseas companies from at least sixty countries have invested US$95 billion in sectors that range from mining, utilities and infrastructure to services, finance, agribusiness and tourism. These capital flows have held steady in recent years and have not only helped to position Chile in the global marketplace and incorporate it into important international chains of production, trade and finance, but have also made it more competitive, thanks to the resources, technological development and specialized know-how that FDI contributes. Chile's successful track record in attracting FDI means that we have the satisfaction of seeing over 4,000 overseas companies now operating in our country, creating new jobs and economic opportunities. The position that Chile has achieved as a highly attractive location for foreign investment is mainly the result of four factors: its political and economic stability, its wide network of international trade agreements, the legal security and stability it offers, and its high-standard transport and communications services. In its quest for development, Chile has opted for a free-market model, anchored in prudent fiscal and monetary policies and accompanied by active social policies. This has delivered important progress in terms of reductions in poverty and infant mortality, increased life expectancy and an overall improvement in our citizens' quality of life. Over the past twenty-five years, Chile has also shown sustained growth, thanks to responsible and disciplined macroeconomic management. Between 1990 and 2008, Chile grew at an average annual rate of 5.8%, making it one of the world's most dynamic economies. There is no doubt that the combination of these factors has served to heighten the interest of overseas companies in investing in Chile and, among foreign investors, have given it 8 a reputation as a safe and reliable country. This is a particular advantage during crisis as was seen in 1999 - in the wake of the Asian crisis - and in 2008 with its international economic uncertainty. In both cases, FDI in Chile reached record levels, consolidating the country's position as a safe place to which to commit foreign capital. In 2008, the Foreign Investment Committee approved 97 applications for foreign investment worth a total of US$10.5 billion, the second highest figure since 1990. Similarly, materialized investment -or, in other words, that actually entering the country- reached US$5.2 billion, a level not seen since 1999. We are also witnessing an important diversification of the sectors targeted by foreign investors. Although Chile is primarily a mining country, other sectors such as electricity, gas and water, services, infrastructure, agribusiness, forestry and tourism have become increasingly important. Moreover, in contrast to the 1990s when much FDI took the form of mergers and acquisitions, the trend now is towards the development of new productive projects, underlining confidence in Chile. This book seeks to facilitate foreign investors' access to information about our country and we hope that, for many investors, it will serve as a first step in greater acquaintance and closer ties with our country.
