Republic of Chile
Earthquake and Tsunami of February 27, 2010
On July 14, 2010, the Chilean Congress approved the government's post-earthquake reconstruction finance bill, which is
currently pending enactment by the President.
The Economy
Recent Macroeconomic Performance
In the first quarter of 2010, domestic output and demand grew at an annual rate of 1.0% and 11.1%, respectively,
compared to a contraction of 2.1% and 6.6%, respectively, during the first quarter of 2009. On a quarterly basis, output
decreased 1.5% and demand rose 4.2% compared to the fourth quarter of 2009. This contraction in output was largely caused
by the 2010 earthquake and tsunami's effect on industrial output, which had a greater adverse effect than initially estimated.
Demand rose largely due to increases in durable goods orders and consumer and capital goods imports, reflecting a
significant increase in retail consumption.
In the first quarter of 2010, total imports grew by 28.6% compared to the same period in 2009 largely due to their
substitution for local production, which declined as a result of the February 2010 earthquake and tsunami.

Composition of Demand
In the first quarter of 2010, the primary component of aggregate demand was private consumption, which increased to
71.4% of GDP compared to 67.1% of GDP in the first quarter of 2009, mainly as a result of an increase in the demand for
durable goods. Gross fixed capital investment increased from 24.3% of GDP in the first quarter of 2009 to 26.3% of GDP in
the first quarter 2010.

Poverty, Income Distribution and Social Reforms
Every three years, the Ministry of Planning and Cooperation (Ministerio de Planificación y Cooperación) prepares a
national Social and Economic Survey, which is a comprehensive report on changes in poverty, income distribution and the
implementation of the government's social development plans. The 2009 Social and Economic Survey, containing data
collected in November 2009, was published in July 2010.
For the first time since 1990, the 2009 Social and Economic Survey showed an increase in the percentage of the
population living with a per capita income below the poverty line compared to the prior survey.
The President has announced a series of measures in an attempt to reverse this trend, including encouraging education,
improving social spending efficiency, creating an ethical family income (ingreso ético familiar) and other financial support
mechanisms intended to augment the monthly incomes of families. In addition, the government plans to present to Congress a
bill transforming the Ministry of Planning and Cooperation into a Ministry of Social Development (Ministerio de Desarrollo
Social), which would have the responsibility and related resources to oversee the execution of social programs. The
government also has plans to increase the frequency of the Social and Economic Surveys.
Notwithstanding the relative increase in poverty observed in 2009 as compared to 2006, poverty levels were
significantly lower in 2009 than they were in 1990. According to the 2009 Social and Economic Survey, the percentage of the
population living with a per capita income below the poverty line fell from 38.6% in 1990 to 15.1% in 2009. This reduction
can be attributed to strong GDP growth, rising wages, a rapidly increasing employment rate and a significant increase in
government transfers and expenditures focused on low-income groups.
The following table presents information regarding the evolution of poverty for the periods indicated:

Source: Ministry of Planning and Cooperation--Social and Economic Survey.
The reduction in poverty can also be attributed to the government's emphasis on social assistance programs, which
allocate funds to poor communities based on their needs. These social programs contributed to a decrease in extreme poverty
from 13.0% in 1990 to 3.7% in 2009.
Health System Reform
In July 2010, Chile's public health care system, known as Plan Auge, was expanded to increase coverage at low or zero
co-payments for an additional thirteen priority ailments, bringing the total number of covered pathologies from 56 to 69.
