REPUBLIC OF CHILE
The COVID-19 pandemic
Currently, the government maintains the vaccination program that started on February 3, 2021, with defined weekly calendars for specific groups that meet the criteria indicated by the Ministry of Health. On January 10, 2022, the government began to vaccinate the population with an additional or second “booster” dose. As of October 17, 2022, 17,683,983 people had been fully vaccinated in Chile (excluding the “booster” dose), of which 574,715 people had been vaccinated with a single dose vaccine, 17,498,338 people had received the first of two doses of a dual-dose vaccine, 17,109,268 people had received both doses of a dual-dose vaccine, 15,670,410 people had received an additional “booster” dose and 11,594,996 people had received a second “booster” dose.
The government maintains a “step-by-step” gradual lockdown relief program. Depending on the results of health and safety guidelines and criteria, the government may allow each district or region to gradually advance to the full re-opening stage or go back to a previous restricted stage. On April 14, 2022 the step-by-step plan was made more flexible by setting up 3 levels of measures depending on the sanitary impact of COVID-19 (high, medium or low impact). Further easements have been introduced since then, such as no mandatory use of protective masks or restrictions on entrance to Chile and an increase in the maximum allowed capacity for mass events.
The government has announced that, except in hospitals, mobility passes and face masks were no longer required from October 1, 2022. On August 17, 2022, the Ministry of Health announced that a fifth dose of vaccination would take place before year end. As of September 30, 2022, no district in Chile is under quarantine and the stringency index (a composite measure based on nine response indicators including school closures, workplace closures, and travel bans) stood at 23.61 for fully vaccinated people. As of October 14, 2022, 4,669,403 COVID-19 infections had been recorded in Chile, of which 15,785 were active cases and 61,397 were deaths.
The Chilean Constitution and Government
On September 4, 2022, a referendum on the approval or rejection of the draft constitution proposed by the Constitutional Convention took place, with 61.86% of the votes rejecting it and 38.14% of the votes approving it. Approximately 13 million out of approximately 15 million people who were eligible to vote cast ballots. Voting was mandatory for all citizens of 18 years old or more. Given that the proposed draft was rejected, the current constitution will remain in force. However, the President of the Republic, Congress and most of the political parties have committed to initiate a new process for a new constitution to be approved and have started a consensus building procedure to establish the rules under which the new constitutional process will occur.
Banking Regulation
On August 5, 2022, the Financial Market Commission (“CMF”) issued General Rule No. 484, which establishes the requisites for charges associated with lending transactions governed by Law No. 18,010 to be considered as commissions, as opposed to be deemed interest, in which case such charges would be subject to maximum interest caps according to the laws on credit transactions. Such requisites are: (i) the amount charged to the debtor must be calculated on the basis of the cost of providing the service, (ii) the service must be real, effectively rendered to the debtor and different from those “inherent” to the money credit transaction, (iii) the concept to which the charge corresponds, as well as the total amount charged to the debtor, must have been expressly informed to and accepted by the debtor prior to its collection and the rendering of the service, regardless of whether the collection of the charge is made prior to rendering the service, and (iv) the information of charges in connection with credit transactions must be made publicly available through the same channels used by the creditor to make offers of such transactions.

Capital Markets
On October 12, 2022, the Chilean Congress approved a bill that promotes competition and financial inclusion through innovation and technology in the provision of financial services (the “Fintech Law”). The Fintech Law establishes a general regulatory framework for the provision of certain technology-based financial services (“Fintech”), subject to the supervision of the CMF. Such services include (i) crowdfunding platforms, (ii) alternative transaction systems, (iii) credit and investment advice, (iv) custody of financial instruments, and (v) order routing and intermediation of financial instruments. To provide Fintech services, providers need to register with the Registry of Financial Service Providers at the CMF.
The Fintech Law also creates a legal framework to regulate and implement an open banking system, establishing the basic rules and principles to allow the exchange of financial information between different service providers through remote and automated access interfaces that will allow interconnection and direct communication between the participating institutions.
In accordance with this new general regulatory framework, the CMF must enact a series of rules for its implementation, where it must observe the principles of proportionality based on risk, modularity in the services provided and technological neutrality.
In addition, the Fintech Law establishes that certain financial sector industries must implement policies and controls to avoid offering products that are not in line with customers’ expectations, needs and willingness to take risks. Also, banks will have to establish public, objective and non-discriminatory conditions for the refusal to open, suspend or close current accounts of Fintech providers.
The Fintech Law introduces amendments to several other laws to maintain regulatory consistency and symmetry between the new Fintech and the traditional financial entities under the supervision of the CMF, as well as to include various initiatives that seek to enhance the financial sector and update its current framework, such as allowing simplified securities registration processes (according to the rules that will be issued by the CMF), and changes in the requirements to be considered a public company, establishing a minimum of 2,000 shareholders.
The Fintech Law will enter into force 30 days after its publication in the Official Gazette. However, the regulation of Fintech companies, the open finance system and the amendments to Law No. 18,045 on Securities Market Law, Law No. 20,712 on Funds Administration, and certain amendments to the General Banking Law, will be effective as of the date of entry into force of the respective regulations to be issued by the CMF.
Taxation
On July 7, 2022, the government submitted to Congress the Tax Reform Bill through Presidential Message No. 064-370 (the “Tax Reform Bill”), which proposes several substantial changes to the Chilean tax system. The proposed changes include certain amendments to the tax code, the income tax law, the value added tax (“VAT”) law, the funds law, the inheritance and donations law, and the mining royalty.
Some of the relevant changes proposed by the Tax Reform Bill include amendments to the following: general anti-avoidance rules; special rules for the delivery of information; strengthening of the tax authority’s audit powers; new “semi-dual” general taxation regime for large companies, which includes a disintegration of the tax system by modifying both the first category tax rate and the applicable taxes to shareholders; limitation on the deductibility of expenses; establishment of a new bracket and incrementation of personal income tax and second category tax rates; modifications to the pro small- and medium-sized enterprises (“SME”) regime and new VAT benefits; modifications of international taxation rules (e.g., transfer pricing, controlled foreign corporations, thin cap rules and limitation on tax credits for taxes paid abroad); taxation of capital gains and income from leases on certain real estate assets; amendment to the mining royalty bill of law; modification of VAT exemption applicable to exports; modification of inheritance tax rules in connection with the valuation of assets; modification of taxation of mutual funds and public and private investment funds; and a wealth tax.
2 |
The Tax Reform Bill is currently under discussion in the Chamber of Deputies and is expected to be approved during the last quarter of 2022. On October 4, 2022, the government introduced certain changes to the Tax Reform Bill, including: (i) a transitory semi-instantaneous depreciation regime whereby 50% of fixed assets will be instantly depreciated; (ii) a 2.5% tax rate on the taxable base of 22% of the accumulated profits with outstanding personal taxes to the extent that they are recorded in passive companies; (iii) reinstatement of tax credit for taxes paid abroad; (iv) a gradual phase-out of the temporary benefit of reduced rate for SMEs in connection with the COVID pandemic, and incentives to formalize businesses; (v) on wealth taxes, a 50% cap on the tax burden on income that takes into account the effective income tax and wealth tax rates; (vi) certain additional benefits for income obtained from housing rental; and (vii) flexibilization on leases. These changes are expected to reduce tax revenue and have the aim of achieving higher economic growth.
2022 Budget Update
The following table sets forth the most updated macroeconomic assumptions for the 2022 budget, included in the public finances report (Informe de Finanzas Públicas, or the “IFP”) published on October 5, 2022:
2022 Budget Assumptions for Effective Balance
Updated 2022 Budget | ||||
Real GDP growth (% change compared to the prior year) | 2.2 | |||
Real domestic demand growth (% change compared to the prior year) | 2.0 | |||
CPI (% change December 2020/2021 compared to December 2021/2022, as applicable) | 11.7 | |||
Annual average nominal exchange rate (Ps./US$1.00) | 864 | |||
Annual average copper price (US$ cents per pound) | 398 |
(1) | Updated in October 2022. |
Source: Chilean Budget Office.
According to the last estimations, the central government revenues are projected to increase by Ps.68,157 billion in 2022 (a 6.3% increase in real terms when compared to central government revenues in 2021). The central government expenditures are projected to amount to Ps.63,957 billion in 2022 (a 24.0% decrease in real terms when compared to government expenditures in 2021). As a result, the effective balance for 2022 is projected to increase to 1.6% of GDP, compared to (7.7)% of GDP for 2021, while the central government’s gross debt is projected to decrease to 36.0% of GDP in 2022, compared to 36.3% of GDP in 2021.
While these projections might have been reasonable when formulated, they are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the potential effects of current events that are not reasonably foreseeable or known at this time, that could cause actual results to materially differ from those contemplated by these projections. Accordingly, the Republic gives no assurance that actual events will not materially differ from the information set forth above.
2023 Budget
In September 2022, the government submitted to Congress a draft bill for the “2023 Budget Law”.
When submitting the budget law for each year, the Ministry of Finance sets forth certain macroeconomic assumptions used to project government revenues and fiscal results, among others. These projections are updated and published quarterly in the IFP.

The following table sets forth the macroeconomic assumptions underlying the draft “2023 Budget Law” submitted to Congress:

Trend Real GDP growth (average % change for the next five years) | 2.5 | |||
Long-term Copper price (US$ cents per pound) (2021-2030) | 331 |
The draft 2023 budget foresees an increase in expenditures in 2023. Projected central government revenues, when measured in constant pesos of 2023, are expected to reach Ps.63,222 billion for 2023 (a decrease of 12.7% in real terms, compared to the central government revenues of 2022). Projected central government expenditures, when measured in constant pesos of 2023, are expected to reach Ps.70,828 billion in 2023 (a 4.2% increase in real terms, compared to central government expenditures of 2022). As a result, the effective deficit is expected to reach 2.7%, while the structural deficit is expected to reach 2.1%. The draft 2023 budget allows the incurrence of indebtedness by Chile in an amount of US$17.0 billion. Additionally, the IFP published on October 5, 2022, assumes that the GDP will grow 3.2% in 2024.
While these projections might have been reasonable when formulated, they are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the potential effects of current events that are not reasonably foreseeable or known at this time, that could cause actual results to materially differ from those contemplated by these projections. Accordingly, the Republic gives no assurance that actual events will not materially differ from the information set forth above.
The main objectives of the draft 2023 budget include:
· | Support past and new infrastructure projects through the creation of an infrastructure program (Programa de Infraestructura para el Desarrollo), allocating Ps.1,668 billion to this program. | |
· | Support production growth through the creation of a production development program (Desarrollo Productivo Sostenible) and the allocation of Ps.155 billion to the project. Additionally, the allocation of Ps.332 billion for the development of the Pan American Games to take place in Santiago in 2023. | |
· | The recovery of employment, allocating Ps.334 billion to maintain employment subsidies. Additionally, a special commitment to support women in the workforce, increasing the subsidy for women’s employment (Subsidio al Empleo de la Mujer) by 13.7%. | |
· | Reinforcement of public safety by increasing the Undersecretariat for Crime Prevention (Subsecretaría de Prevención del Delito) budget by Ps.10 billion and implementing a new plan against organized crime (Plan Nacional Contra el Crimen Organizado), allocating Ps.38 billion to the institutions involved in the prevention, control and prosecution of organized crime. | |
· | Universal Pension Guarantee, which assures a minimum pension for more than 2.1 million people over 65 years. | |
· | A Ps.674 billion increase to the education budget compared to the 2022 budget, in order to mitigate the effects derived from the COVID-19 pandemic. | |
· | Health support specially oriented to provide procedures in the public health system, allocating Ps.12,748 billion to the health budget. |

Development Bank of Latin America’s Approval
On August 24, 2022, Chile received approval from the Development Bank of Latin America’s (“CAF”) shareholders to join the multilateral organization as a member state. CAF is currently comprised of 18 Latin American and Caribbean states, along with Spain and Portugal and 13 private banks. CAF is working on a renewed agenda focused on green projects and the social and economic reactivation of their members.
Credit Line from the International Monetary Fund
On August 29, 2022, the executive board of the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) approved a two-year arrangement for Chile under a flexible credit line (“FCL”) worth approximately US$18.5 billion, that replaced a US$24.0 billion facility granted in 2020, which was not used and expired on May 2022. The FCL allows its recipients to draw on the credit line at any time and is designed to flexibly address both actual and potential balance of payments needs. Drawings under the FCL are not phased nor tied to ex-post conditionality as in regular IMF-supported programs. Chile intends to treat the FCL as precautionary and intends to use a part thereof to cancel an existing short-term liquidity line worth US$3.3 billion. The IMF expects that the FCL will increase Chile’s precautionary reserve buffers on a temporary basis and provide substantial insurance against a broad range of risks, including from a possible abrupt global slowdown, commodity price shocks, spillovers from Russia’s war in Ukraine, or a sharp tightening of global financial conditions.
TPP11 Approval
On October 11, 2022, the Senate approved the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (“TPP11”) to boost free trade among Australia, Brunei, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Chile, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam. The TPP11 has been approved by the Chilean Congress and needs to be ratified by the President of the Republic to become effective. However, the Chilean government has announced that before making such ratification it would seek to negotiate bilateral revisions to dispute resolution provisions with other TPP11 signatories.
