Global Services

Chile has positioned itself as a premier destination for those companies looking to benefit from offshoring. The country is ranked as one of the safest and most attractive global services locations in the world. The country's commitment to the industry is demonstrated by the creation of the Global Services Strategic Council in 2007, which works toward the continued development of global services in Chile. The results of those efforts can be seen in the dramatic growth in the value of global services exports and the increasing number of multinationals with operations in the country. In addition to the strong government support of the industry, companies that choose Chile benefit from competitive labour costs, a transparent and low-risk business environment, access to a skilled labour force, as well as Chile's extensive network of free trade and double taxation agreements.

• Chile is the most open economy in Latin America according to The Heritage Foundation.
