Chile and China urged to boost investment
Print Edition
CHINA and Chile have a strong and rapidly growing trading relationship but the Chilean ambassador yesterday urged the two countries to boost investment between them.
Bilateral trade between China and Chile has grown rapidly since a free trade agreement was signed in 2005 to exempt most goods from tariffs. China is now the biggest trading partner for Chile with two-way trade totaling US$33 billion last year.
However, Jorge Heine, the ambassador to China, told a seminar on trade and investment opportunities in the South American country held in Shanghai that bilateral investment trails the robust trading ties.
Between 1974 and 2012, Chinese companies invested a total of US$104 million in Chile, representing only 0.11 percent of all foreign direct investment in the Andean country.
Jorge Pizarro Cristi, executive vice president of the Foreign Investment Committee of Chile, disclosed that China Construction Bank, one of the four leading lenders in China, will start operations in Santiago, the Chilean capital, in the second half of this year.
CCB will provide financial services and facilitate bilateral investment between the two countries, Cristi said.
