InvestChile, the Chilean government agency responsible for promoting foreign investment, reported that its portfolio of foreign investment projects reached US$ 65.7 billion at the end of 2025. This figure marks a 16.8% increase from the US$ 56.2 billion recorded at the close of 2024.
According to InvestChile, the number of projects supported by the agency has risen by 132% over the past four years. The agency managed a total of 463 foreign investment projects in various stages during 2025.
Of these investments, US$ 16.2 billion corresponds to initiatives that are already installed and under development through 107 projects, which have generated a total of 3,886 direct permanent jobs.
Karla Flores, Director of InvestChile, commented on the agency’s performance: “Chile is attractive to foreign firms and has a number of qualities that set it apart from its peers in the region when a company is deciding where to implement its investment plans. And behind that 132% growth is the tremendous work of the InvestChile team, which over the past four years has focused on four key areas: strengthening its work in business intelligence and investment climate; consolidating its attaché network; encouraging foreign investment in the regions through agreements with regional governments; and actively promoting public tender and concession portfolios.”
The majority of investments were concentrated in four sectors: Energy (US$ 38.2 billion), Mining (US$ 14.4 billion), Global Services and Technology (US$ 5.6 billion), and Infrastructure (US$ 5.6 billion). Project values increased significantly in Mining (67%) and Infrastructure (64%) compared to year-end figures for 2024.
By country of origin, companies from the United States accounted for US$ 19.1 billion—the largest share—followed by Denmark with US$ 11.3 billion and the United Kingdom with US$ 7.7 billion.
Additionally, InvestChile noted that most potential investments—84%, or US$ 55.5 billion—are for projects located outside Chile’s Metropolitan Region.
