Perspectives on Chile: Reforms, the Economy, and the New Administration
In collaboration with: La Bolsa de Santiago, Columbia Global Center/Santiago, ComunidadMujer, CORFO, Endeavor, Grupo Liderazgo and InvestChile
As President Sebastián Piñera reassumes power after Chile's recent presidential elections, constituents are optimistic about the business and financial outlook for the country, driven by a strong economy, a unified and experienced governing coalition, and legislative reform. To discuss what comes next for President Piñera's administration, AS/COA, in partnership with Chile's Ministry of Finance, will host the thirteenth annual Latin American Cities Conference in Santiago. Leaders from both the private and public sectors will address opportunities and challenges arising from Chile's economic outlook, potential for foreign investment, and the ongoing efforts to bring about gender equality in the country.
