Overview
This event is open to the public: free for members and $15 for non-members.
As he begins his second year in office, Chilean President Sebastián Piñera is running out of time to pass the tax, pension, and labor reforms he campaigned on. If he wants those reforms to produce results before he leaves office—and as the election cycle begins in 2020 with municipal elections—2019 is Piñera’s second chance to introduce market-friendly reforms after four years of the state-centered, left-leaning Michelle Bachelet administration.
Join Young Professionals of the Americas and the North American-Chilean Chamber of Commerce for a conversation with political scientist Patricio Navia, who will dive in to what's next for the Latin American country.
