Chile is set to overhaul its capital markets by scrapping the 10% capital-gains tax on listed shares, aiming to deepen the market and attract more investors by 2027. The reform package also simplifies rules for creating funds, issuing bonds, and registering securities, reducing red tape for investors. This move could make Chile more competitive as a regional financial hub, bolstering local companies and creating jobs over time.
The government plans to internationalize the Chilean peso, simplifying regulation for foreign investors and bolstering the debt market with stronger infrastructure. These changes are expected to boost market liquidity and financing options for local companies, potentially channeling about 12 million UF per month into the local market.
Investors should watch for ripple effects on the corporate bond market and closely monitor the bill's details for any surprises.
