Issues discussed include: the political and constitutional framework, the role of institutions in price stability, trade policy and fiscal discipline, Chile's macroeconomic policy; capital markets and corporate financing; recent developments in the banking system, external trade relations and debt sustainability, public sector finances, and export specialisation.
