Economic Growth in Chile
Chile's GDP growth over the last decade was much slower than in the 2000s. The economy experienced steady—albeit muted—growth until 2019. However, the 2019 social unrest and the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic disrupted this trajectory, causing a significant economic contraction. Recovery began in 2021, fueled by rising copper prices and government stimulus measures, though growth slipped back into a moderate growth trajectory from 2022, capped by a recent lack of market-friendly structural reforms.
In the year 2024, the economic growth in Chile was 2.64%, compared to 1.79% in 2014 and 0.52% in 2023. It averaged 2.02% over the last decade. For more GDP information, visit our dedicated page.
