ED – this is bne IntelliNews's annual Chile OUTLOOK 2026 for the upcoming year, where we make a forward-looking assessment for all of the major Global Emerging Markets in Emerging Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East, drawing on insightful reporting from our bureaus around the world.

What is on the agenda? What are the prospects for economic growth and what problems lie in store in the coming year? A detailed report that covers, business, economics, finance, energy, politics and the major sectors of the most important markets.

Chile has long served as Latin America's anchor of stability. The one market where institutions function, rules apply, and investments remain secure despite regional turbulence. Right-wing president-elect Jose Antonio Kast's December victory tests whether that stability can survive sharp ideological pivots, or whether Chile's polarisation now resembles the volatility investors associate with less developed neighbours.

For portfolio managers evaluating Chilean sovereign debt, corporates planning regional operations, policymakers tracking Latin American political trends, and analysts assessing emerging market risk, understanding Chile's trajectory under Kast is essential.

Our Chile Outlook 2026 synthesises Central Bank data, IMF assessments, World Bank forecasts, on-the-ground reporting, and market analysis into a comprehensive guide to navigating Chile's transformation.
