Chile Government Revenue
General government revenue as % of GDP GGR_NGDP
Chile's government revenue was 24.72% in 2025, ranked 109th globally. This represents a 3.4% increase from 2024. Data from IMF WEO, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Chile's government revenue stood at 24.72% in 2025, a rise of +0.81% from 2024. The IMF projects 24.72% by 2025. Chile ranked 109th globally.
Chile’s government revenue has risen modestly over the 36‑year series, moving from 23.24 % of GDP in 1990 to 24.72 % in 2025, placing the country 109th globally. The indicator peaked at 28.09 % of GDP in 2022, reflecting a brief fiscal expansion before a modest re‑traction to the 2025 level. The lowest point occurred in 2009, when revenue fell to 20.72 % of GDP amid the global financial crisis, illustrating the sensitivity of Chile’s fiscal base to external shocks. Compared with peers of similar rank, Bolivia (25.07 %) and Mauritania (24.92 %) record slightly higher shares, while South Sudan (24.71 %) is virtually identical, suggesting Chile’s revenue performance is broadly in line with other middle‑rank economies. The recent downward adjustment from the 2022 peak indicates a normalization of fiscal policy, and unless major tax reforms or commodity price shifts occur, the revenue share is likely to remain near the mid‑twenties in the near term.
