InvestChile director, Karla Flores, stated that 'the figures are a good indication of the dynamism of foreign investment and corroborate the high-interest companies have in continuing to develop business in Chile.'

The agency has published an e-book with a step-by-step operating guide that details the benefits for international companies of setting up in the Southern Cone country.

Karla Flores is an economist and holds a master's degree in Applied Macroeconomics from the Universidad Católica de Chile. She is the first woman to hold the position of InvestChile's managing director since its foundation in 2016.

The director of InvestChile, Andrés Rodríguez, indicated that the figures are in line with the results of the agency's portfolio of projects in 2021 when it grew by 25% to US $28 billion.

Chile's foreign investment promotion agency tallied up US$28 billion in projects, the highest figure recorded over its five-year history.
