Invest Chile Mining Investment E Book
Chile is a mining country. Mining has historically been the country’s largest economic sector and a major growth driver in recent decades. In 2021 it accounted for 9 % of the country’s GDP. When considering indirect chains – transportation, energyconsumption, water desalination and production and trade of inputs – the figure exceeds 20%. It also accounts for over half of exported goods (62% in 2021), according to FOB (Free On Board) values in dollars.

An Expert Who Keeps You on Top of Global Markets
We’re pleased to introduce you to Peter Dragicevich, Currency Strategist APAC, from Corpay Cross-Border Solutions. Corpay is ALABC’s preferred foreign currency exchange and international payments partner and Peter will be providing ALABC members with market commentary on USD, AUD, CLP and ARS.
Here’s a snapshot of the USD analysis:
After starting the year on the backfoot, the USD has recovered some lost ground over recent weeks. This has reflected a combination of macroeconomic and market developments. The early-2023 resilience in the US economy and stubbornly high inflation, which triggered a sharp repricing in expectations for how high US interest rates could reach this cycle was an initial factor underpinning the USD rebound.
