Chile
Despite challenges, Chile's economy
continues to grow steadily.
Chile, Latin America's sixth-largest economy, is expected to grow by 3
percent this year, according to International Monetary Fund estimates.
That follows GDP growth of 2.8 percent last year.
Much depends on international prices for copper - Chile's top export earner - and sales for
its other key exports. Chile has also been affected by the outlook in neighboring Argentina, which has been suffering from a major economic crisis.
Next year, Chile is expected to post a 6 percent GDP growth, one of the highest in latin America, the IMF forecasts.
Services accounts for 51 percent of the economy, followed by industry (37.5 percent) and agriculture (11.4 percent).
GDP: $66.5 billion
