Interviews with industry players inside and outside Chile
confirm broad recognition of Chile’s key strengths …
Chile’s Key Strengths Identified in Stakeholder Interviews
• Chile’s political and economic stability is widely recognized
Political and
economic stability • Long term investors, such as multinationals developing captive shared service centers,
consider this a particularly important factor
• Radical demands from labor and other interest groups are much lower than in peer countries
Pro-business
climate • Investors are enthusiastic about the effectiveness and efficiency of government agencies. A recent
investor indicates “visas can be obtained in weeks in Chile rather than months in other countries”
• Investors recognize that Chile’s top talent pool is as strong as any in the world. Non-investors
Specialized talent mention Chile’s reputation for qualified and well educated people
availability and
stability • Unlike locations like Costa Rica, India, and China, salaries are stable, making Chile increasingly
attractive as the cost arbitrage of other locations decreases
Strong support • Recent investors note this strength more emphatically than other groups
from government • They express that the support received from Chile’s representatives “from the Ambassador to
agencies CORFO” was “professional, proactive and effective in helping us establish in Chile”
• Labor costs are higher in Chile than in competing countries in the region
• Inflated salary expectations from candidates for high-value added jobs, such as research analysts
High Cost of Talent • Many recognize that the cost differential is small, after accounting for the costs of corruption,
lowered productivity due to bureaucracy, and other hidden costs in competing countries
• However, in low-value added services, such as traditional contact centers, some multinationals still
prefer to incur these risks and benefit from the cost arbitrage by locating in lower cost countries
• Investors and non-investors mention that incentive programs typically do not figure in the decision to
locate in Chile, given their small scale
Limited Incentives
(Tax, Capex, • Under current tax law, it is cumbersome and time consuming to receive reimbursement of VAT on
Training) certain exported services; however the law is currently under review
• Investors and non-investors repeat that to make Chile more cost competitive, tax, capital
expenditure and more significant training incentives could be offered
• Investors, non-investors and some SMEs concur that the country image is not clear in the
Investment international community
Promotion • A lack of sector targeting and focus causes confusion among investors
Targeting
• The strength of the country as a destination to their particular offshore service interest is unclear
• The most important key to success in each of the priority sectors is going to

Creativity the sector – English language skills, relevant graduation rates, openness
and attractiveness to foreign knowledge workers, and so on

2. Within these sectors, a very targeted approach is
required to promote Chile’s attributes
Targeted Promotion Campaign
• For target sectors, develop and • Focus on promoting Chile as • Focus less on advertising, large
make readily available much R&D, ITO and BPO location to trade-shows and broad-brush
more specific information on industries with affinity for Chile or brochures; develop customized
Chile’s key attributes: existing local skill-base: presentations for specific firms,

(e.g. labor laws for ICT; IP for • Identify and leverage Chileno • Look at overall Chile branding –
R&D, etc.) expat connections in target firms does not adequately convey
–Set-up/Approval process/speed attributes
• While better than most in Latin America and Asia, enforcement of IPR is
IP and still perceived to be weak (particularly in pharma and bio sectors)
Information • Singapore, which also markets its safety and stability, takes proactive
Security measures to reinforce this reputation, such as sponsoring new business
continuity ISO standard, encouraging information security certification, etc.
• While better than most, investors still identify several areas where
Regulatory regulatory environment could be made more conducive to remote services
and Tax operations, e.g. R&D approval processes, more flexible labor laws for ITO
Burden and BPO operations, VAT reimbursement on exported services, double tax
treaties with other countries in region (for shared service centers), etc.
