The Milken Institute's Global Opportunity Index this year ranked Chile number 1 in the region, consolidating us as a country where it is possible to think about creating a better future not only locally, but for the world as well. The ranking is based on an evaluation of 96 variables and 5 general categories:
Business perception, financial services, international standards and policies, economic fundamentals and institutional framework.
Variables within these categories measured all angles of a country's investment potential, including openness of the economy and performance, transparency, and talent and diversity of the workforce. Data sources include the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the Global Health Data Exchange.
Claude Lopez, PhD, author of the report and head of the institute's Research department tells that "the Global Opportunity Index measures a country's attractiveness to foreign investors based on five broad categories that provide investors with the tools to determine their own risk tolerance."

Circular economy, sustainability and the world's first recycling plant for mining tires
The French company Michelin will build the first tire recycling plant in Antofagasta, which will include tires from the large Chilean mining sector and could in the future include waste from the production process in neighboring countries such as Argentina and Peru.
Guillermo Crevatin, general manager of Michelin Chile comments on the reasons for the decision to invest in Chile:
"They have given clear signs of interest in circular economy and sustainability. There is important support in advising on these types of issues. Regardless of what has happened since the social outburst, the plan has not been modified. Although it is something that worries, what is much more important is everything that Chile has shown in terms of seriousness, continuity in its policies, and that even with changes of government there is continuity in the main issues. In Chile there is legal security and it is a country where we feel comfortable as investors, because the conditions are there. Therefore, we had no doubts about building this plant in Chile".
