Chile's Gross Savings rate has exhibited significant fluctuations over the past five decades. The country's savings rate peaked at 27.65 in 2006, a year characterized by strong economic growth, driven in part by the exploitation of copper reserves. Conversely, Chile's lowest recorded savings rate of 2.92 was registered in 1982, amidst economic instability following the 1973 military coup. Since then, Chile's savings rate has shown a general upward trend, although it slipped to 21.51 in 2025, ranking the country 85th globally. Chile's current savings rate is comparable to that of Portugal, which ranked 21.36 in 2025. The country's economic trajectory is likely to be influenced by its fiscal policies and investment in infrastructure, with a sustained focus on these areas potentially driving further growth in the savings rate. A shift in global commodity prices, particularly copper, could also impact Chile's economic outlook and savings trajectory.
