What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

S&P Global Ratings maintained Chile's long-term foreign-currency rating at A and its local-currency rating at A+. The Finance Ministry announced the decision, stating that the authorities have shown commitment to fiscal restraint. However, S&P now forecasts that net public debt will reach 41% of annual economic output (GDP) by 2029, which is higher than the 37% plateau expected last year.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The rating maintains Chile's position as the highest grade given to any Latin American country. S&P warned that budget repair will take longer, signaling greater fiscal strain on the country's long-term financial burden. The government cited the National Reconstruction Law, which gradually cuts corporate tax from 27% to 23%, as part of its fiscal strategy.
