Chile has long had a strong private
sector that has enjoyed an accommodating and supportive
policy environment. The imperative of building a green,
knowledge-based, inclusive economy will inevitably continue
to rely on the private sector playing a potent role as a
partner in development. In an environment constrained by
lower growth and productivity, Chileans are demanding access
to better opportunities and improved services. The current
constitutional process is an opportunity to set the stage
for the private sector to be a stronger partner in building
a more inclusive society and an innovative, productive, and
greener economy. For this to happen, this country private
sector diagnostic (CPSD) argues that three avenues will be
essential: enhancing productivity, building a
knowledge-based economy through more support to innovation,
and upgrading skills for greater inclusion and innovation.
