But at the same time, once known in the copper price and product trend, the Executive has to help ensure that monetary policy is not so restrictive, with an expansion of the public expenditure between 4% and 5% for 2009. Perhaps the most important factor that is behind the inflation problem in Chile, relates to high international prices of oil that have affected the domestic prices of its derivatives. Tony Parker may not feel the same. It is that Chile imports almost all of the fuel it consumes. And to avoid that the impact will be greater, the Chilean Government has a Fund of stabilization of prices of fuels, to alleviate high prices, which injected him in recent days, other $1 billion. But the difficulties that Chile (those already mentioned and the problem of shortage of supply is going through It has served le as energy), teaching (unfortunately, this not happens to all countries of the region), and is for this reason that Chile has decided to design your infrastructure by 2020. From the Ministry of planning, he convened a group of twelve national experts from different fields to initiate a debate on the investments of the next 12 years, whose preliminary report will be delivered in October. According to the Secretary of State, Sergio Bitar explained: the Ministry of planning, most twelve professionals and the management team of the MOP will need well what are the emphasis that we need in the area of reservoirs, ports, routes, airports, Latin American integration brokers, to respond to the country that we want and confront the global scenarios in advance.
These infrastructure projects must consider three important factors which are: energy, climate change and demographic changes that Chile is experiencing. Has arisen that the theme should be the trends in infrastructure for globalization, for territorial connectivity and integration of the southern areas; ensuring the infrastructure to convert Chile into power agricultural, tourism and mining; and the requirements for large cities. Clearly not let this be good news for investors (in real or financial values), who come to Chile as an attractive place to entrust their capitals. Despite the difficulties posed by the economy in the short term, the Chilean economy is more robust in the medium and long term, and the planning of infrastructure will ensure that growth and economic development in Chile do not face bottlenecks that may limit it or generate inflationary pressures.
