Chile has one of the fastest growing economies in Latin America with many opportunities for US companies. Moreover, as one of the most promising markets in the region for a variety of U.S. goods and services, Chile holds an important commercial influence in South America. This is due to the energy and professionalism of its entrepreneurs, the transparency of its regulation, and the predictability of its decision makers. Chile's market-led reforms and an increasingly diversified economy offer a viable option for U.S. business. Additionally, The Economist Intelligence Unit ranked Chile as the safest country in Latin America (2008) and as having the best business environment in Latin America (2009).
