E-3
In December 2017, the National AML/CFT Strategy completed the design and build-up of a National Action Plan 2017-2020. The plan is comprised of six strategic areas that cover 1) updating legal frameworks, 2) strengthening risk-based supervision, 3) strengthening financial investigation, 4) continuing specialized and general training, 5) strengthening interinstitutional coordination and cooperation and 6) preventing and combatting financing of terrorism. The 20 public institutions that are involved with the National Strategy have each committed to specific and concrete actions that will reinforce the prevention and combat of money laundering and financing of terrorism.
Ministry of Women and Gender Equality
Since its creation in 2015, this Ministry has pursued a broad agenda in matters related to reproductive rights. Among other initiatives, the Ministry introduced a bill to de-criminalize the interruption of pregnancies in certain cases, which was enacted and published in the Official Gazette on September 23, 2017.
This Ministry also promoted the inclusion of gender parity quotas in Congressional seats. The bill approved by Congress provided that in the November 2017 elections relating to a partial renewal of the members of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies, no political party would be allowed to promote a list of candidates with individuals of a single gender representing more than 60% of its total candidates. As a result, after the November 2017 elections the number of seats occupied by women in the Chamber of Deputies increased from 19 to 35 (of a new total of 155 seats). In the Senate, the number of seats occupied by women increased from six to 10 (of a total of 43 seats; in 2021, the Senate will increase to 50 seats).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the agriculture, livestock, forestry and fishing sectors contributed 3.0% of GDP, but accounted for 8.7% of Chile’s labor force due to the labor-intensive nature of these sectors, compared to 3.3% and 8.7%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The mining sector, however, accounted for 9.4% of GDP and employed about 2.2% of Chile’s labor force, due to the less labor-intensive nature of this sector, compared to 7.8% and 2.5%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Privatization and Infrastructure
Public Investment in Infrastructure
On January 3, 2018, Congress passed a bill that provides for the creation of the Fondo de Infraestructura S.A. (Infrastructure Fund Corporation), an investment fund 99% owned by the Chilean Treasury and 1% by CORFO (the state-owned holding company). The fund will be empowered to award public infrastructure concession agreements through public bidding processes and invest in and channel public resources into infrastructure projects sponsored by non-related third-parties (i.e., private sector). Investment decisions will be made by a board of directors composed of five presidential appointees, three of which will be independent. A committee of independent directors will be required to approve investments in non-related third-party sponsored infrastructure projects.
E-14
Public Works—Infrastructure Concessions
As of September 30, 2017, 77 concession projects had been awarded by the Ministry of Public Works, including, among others, 44 projects related to roads and highways, one project related to urban transport projects, one project related to water irrigation and one project related to the concession of the administration of the Diego Aracena airport in the Iquique region.
On November 25, 2017, the central government created a new agency, the Dirección General de Concesiones de Obras Públicas (General Directorate of Public Works Concessions), to replace the former Public Concessions Coordinator. The new agency aims to strengthen the central government’s capacity to meet current and future public infrastructure requirements, formulate and supervise a concessions plan and projects portfolio with a five years projection for the approval of the concessions committee and Congress.
Environment
Waste Management Law No. 20,920 – Framework for waste management, the extended producer’s responsibility and recycling incentives.
During the second half of 2017, the Ministry of the Environment issued a series of regulations aimed at reducing the amount of waste through a series of instruments for reuse, recycling and other types of recovery, in furtherance of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) recommendations on waste reduction and recycling. Such instruments include, among others, eco-design requirements applicable to the manufacturing of certain products, the creation of a fund to help municipalities fund their recycling activities, and the implementation of the Extended Producer Liability (“REP” for its acronym in Spanish), which makes producers and importers of lubricant oils, electric and electronic devices, containers, packaging, batteries and tires responsible for collecting the waste created by such products in order to reuse or attend to their proper disposal.
Conservation
In 2016, a special regime for privately-owned land dedicated to conservation through the voluntary imposition of so called “Conservation Easements” was created. These encumbrances provide for a self-imposed restriction on the ability of the owner or any third parties to use the land for commercial purposes or extractive activities. In addition, two important tax benefits were approved in 2017 for private owners that donate land to the central government, in particular to national parks for conservation purposes.
Environmental Courts – First Environmental Court is created
On September 4, 2017, the members of the First Environmental Court located in Antofagasta were sworn into office. The First Environmental Court completes the system of three specialized environmental courts created to hear and adjudicate environmental disputes.
Ratification of the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol
On September 19, 2017, Chile became the first country in the Americas to ratify the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol. This protocol aims to protect the ozone layer by phasing out the production and use of substances that deplete it. The Kigali Amendment deals specifically with hydrofluorocarbons (“HFCs”). It is expected that this amendment will provide the largest, fastest, and most secure climate mitigation available in the near-term, avoiding up to 0.5°C of warming by the end of the century.
E-15
This amendment will enter into force on January 1, 2019, provided that it is ratified by at least 20 parties to the Montreal Protocol.

The 2018 annual public budget law allocates Ps.8,008,661 million to health expenditure (excluding infrastructure investments), compared to Ps.7,489,634 million for 2017, which represents an increase in real terms of 5.6% compared to 2017.
Educational Reforms
Law No. 21,040 was enacted on November 24, 2017 with the stated aim of establishing a new institutional framework for public education comprising kindergartens, primary schools and public secondary schools (Sistema de Educación Pública), a government guaranteed right to education and the adoption of measures to improve the quality of education. The goal is to ensure the delivery of quality education available to the population at large. From an institutional view point, the goal is expected to be achieved through the central government’s support and supply of technical supervision to educational facilities. Such support and supply shall include the creation of decentralized entities through which representatives from the local educational communities (e.g., students, parents, teachers, staff, representatives of educational institutions, etc.) will be given the opportunity to participate in the discussion of educational matters.
In addition, on December 20, 2017, the Chamber of Deputies approved a bill creating the Superior Council (Consejo Superior), a University Council (Consejo Universitario) and a regulatory body (Contraloría Universitaria), with the aim of strengthening public universities. The bill is in the Senate for its review and discussion.
E-16
Consumer Protection
On October 24, 2017, Congress passed a bill amending the current Law on the protection of consumers rights regime to expand the powers of the “SERNAC” (consumer protection agency). Among other things, the bill grants SERNAC the authority to impose fines, issue mandatory instructions, issue resolutions and police compliance directly. As of the date of this amendment, the bill is under review by the Constitutional Court.
Innovation Fund for Competitiveness
In 2017, the central government applied US$227 million to the Innovation Fund for Competitiveness (Fondo de Innovación para la Competitividad), and has allocated an estimated US$238 million for 2018.
Antitrust Legislation
Effective June 1, 2017, amendments to the Chilean antitrust law relating to the control of concentrations that were enacted in 2016 came in to full force and effect. Under the new rules, concentrations whether by virtue of a merger, acquisitions of rights or assets, joint venture, association or otherwise that meet certain thresholds (in terms of annual sales) are subject to prior notification to, and approval by, the Fiscalía Nacional Económica. On the same date, the Ministry of Economy issued Decree No. 33 setting forth the information that reporting entities must provide when reporting such operations to the Fiscalía Nacional Económica.

Recent Developments in Banking Regulation
Draft Amendment to the General Banking Act
On June 13, 2017, the Chilean government submitted a draft bill to Congress intended to introduce significant amendments to the General Banking Act. The main purpose of the bill is to implement the Basel II and Basel III recommendations, although the draft bill also contains amendments to other provisions of the General Banking Act that are independent of these recommendations. The most significant amendments to the General Banking Act proposed to Congress are:
(i) | a strengthening of risk-based capital requirements in accordance with Basel III, which strengthening takes into account risks relating to counterparties as well as market and operational risks. In particular, the draft bill establishes an obligation on banks to enhance their provisions on capital to protect themselves from future shocks; |
(ii) | a strengthening of banking supervision by the replacement of the SBIF with the Financial Market Commission, which will assume all the powers currently held by the SBIF; |
(iii) | the granting of renewed discretionary powers to the Financial Market Commission, such as the authority to (a) determine new rules to weigh bank’s assets and approve each bank’s model to weigh its assets, in each case, together with the Chilean Central Bank’s approval; (b) determine requirements for the issuance and consideration as regulatory capital of Tier 1 additional instruments, such as preferred shares and perpetual bonds; (c) impose additional capital requirements in accordance with Basel III; (d) determine which banks shall be considered as critical to the banking system and impose additional capital requirements on them (up to an additional 1%-3.5% of common equity over risk-weighed-assets and up to 5% of common equity over total assets) as well as reserve requirements to guarantee liquidity; |
E-30
(iv) | new rules on banks’ recovery and liquidation. Upon liquidity or solvency problems, the bank shall submit to the Financial Market Commission a regularization plan. In case such plan is not submitted or is rejected by the Financial Market Commission, an inspector or ad hoc manager (administrador provisional) may be appointed by the Financial Market Commission. While the first of these officers can only block certain actions by a bank’s management, the latter completely replaces the board of directors and assumes all of its powers. Further, the draft bill eliminates the possibility to reach a reorganization agreement with creditors (convenios) in insolvency scenarios; therefore, if the regularization plan and/or the ad hoc manager’s recovery efforts fail, the bank is liquidated; |
(v) | the imposition of additional rules relating to bank secrecy to facilitate the access to certain information by the Chilean Financial Analysis Unit and the Internal Revenue Service; and |
(vi) | an increase in deposit guarantees by Chile. |
Congressional discussion and analysis of the draft bill is at an early stage.
Capital Markets
Capital Markets Reforms
On December 14, 2017 the Financial Market Commission (Comisión para el Mercado Financiero or “CMF”) initiated the regulation of financial markets, assuming the tasks of the Securities and Insurance Superintendence (Superintendencia de Valores y Seguros or “SVS”), which will be dissolved on January 15, 2018. The CMF is governed by a five-member board.

Public sector revenues increased to Ps.28,213 billion (equivalent to US$43.1 billion) in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from Ps.26,195 billion (equivalent to US$38.5 billion) in the same period in 2016. An increase in revenues from net taxes was supported in part by an increase in copper revenues. Net taxes increased to Ps.23,304 billion (equivalent to US$35.6 billion) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to Ps.21,751 billion (equivalent to US$32.0 billion) for the same period in 2016, which represented a nominal increase of 7.1% (measured in pesos) as compared to the same period in 2016. Copper revenues increased by 42.4% to Ps.605 billion (equivalent to US$0.9 billion) in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from Ps.425 billion (equivalent to US$0.6 billion) in the same period in 2016. This growth is attributable to an increase in the average price for copper, which was US$2.7 per pound in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to US$2.1 per pound in the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
As a result, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 the central government recorded a fiscal deficit equivalent to US$3.2 billion, or 1.7% of GDP compared to a fiscal deficit equivalent to US$2.9 billion, or 1.5% of GDP in the same period in 2016.

Based on the macroeconomic assumptions, revenues of the central government for 2018 are estimated at US$63.8 billion, representing an increase of 7.4% compared to the revenues estimated for 2017. This increase reflects an increase in the mining tax (Impuesto específico a la Minería) and the proportional increase in the tax rate of corporates under the semi accrual basis. Under such basis, as established by the latest tax reform, the corporate tax will gradually increase until 2018.
E-36
As a result, the 2018 budget assumed a fiscal deficit of US$5.7 billion, or 1.9% of GDP, for 2018, compared to a projected fiscal deficit of US$7.3 billion, or 2.7% of GDP, for 2017. The 2018 budget assumed a structural fiscal deficit of 1.7% of GDP.
Government Revenue
Taxation
Tax revenues represented 13.4% of GDP for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to 13.2% of GDP for the same period in 2016.
Recent Tax Reforms
On November 23, 2017, a law amending several provisions of the Income Tax Law and the Chilean Tax Code was passed by Congress including the following:
a) | the revocation of the business-platform tax regime contained in Article 41(d) of the Income Tax Law, excluding any new companies from joining such regimen from the date the law was published; |
b) | the replacement of the black list of tax haven jurisdictions elaborated by the Chilean Ministry of Economy with a reference to certain general criteria that determine the existence of preferential tax regimes, contained in Article 41(h) of the Income Tax Law; |
c) | the extension, until December 31, 2021, of the application of the transitory rule that entitles non-resident owners of Chilean companies subject to the partially integrated tax regime to use 100% of the corporate tax credit to pay the withholding tax on their profit withdrawals or dividend distributions, provided that their countries of residence have signed a double taxation treaty with Chile that is not yet in force (e.g., the United States). Additionally, the benefit was extended to non-residents whose countries of residence sign or have signed a double tax treaty before January 1, 2019; and |
d) | the amendment of the rules regarding banking information secrecy, with the purposes of enabling the Chilean Internal Revenue Service (“Servicio de Impuestos Internos”) to request certain financial information of non-resident entities and individuals from local qualified institutions. |
