Abstract
This Technical Note discusses household indebtedness issues in Chile from a financial consumer protection perspective. The note discusses over-indebtedness concerns and other creditrelated issues practices that appear to be adversely affecting consumers – particularly more vulnerable, lower income consumers – in Chile and gaps in the current financial consumer protection regulatory and supervisory framework needing to be bridged to assist in addressing these issues. The note considers both issues that had already manifested prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and developments during the pandemic. Importantly, the note highlights credit-related issues which warrant focus from a consumer protection perspective even if they may not necessarily be a concern from a stability perspective.

Publication Chile - Financial Sector Assessment Program, November 2021(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2021-11)The pension system in Chile is known for the 1980 establishment of a defined contribution, individual account system managed by private pension funds (AFPs). In 2008 a major reform of the system took place to address issues of low coverage and low pension rates. In 2019 the Solidarity Pension rate was raised to the poverty rate following severe social unrest which included protests against the pension system, whilst in 2020-2021 large emergency withdrawals have been allowed from the funds in the context of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The funded pension system has made a significant contribution to financial sector diversification and stability, while promoting sustained economic growth and development, and should be maintained. Further withdrawals should be avoided, and the contribution rate increased. An employer contribution of at least the proposed 6 percent is needed to improve pension levels and could be managed by a public entity with strong governance in a way which complements the AFP system. A non-profit AFP could be established to compete with and act as a standard setter for the private funds managing the existing 10 percent employee contributions. To contribute to long-term investment and financial stability, the multifondos investment regulation should be replaced with a ‘target date’ default, delineated by retirement age, along with a limited number of investment options, with switching contained and some access to funds for specific purposes strictly controlled. The risk-based supervision model of the SP should be recalibrated to further transition from a compliance approach.Publication Chile - Financial Sector Assessment Program, October 2021(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2021-10)This note assesses competitive dynamics and potential impediments in Chile’s financial sector in order to provide actionable policy recommendations. This note contains both a quantitative as well as qualitative assessment of competition. The quantitative assessment explores market characteristics and dynamics, including market structure and concentration, cross-ownership and vertical integration, and customer conditions/consumer power. The quantitative assessment is complemented by a qualitative analysis of the regulatory and institutional framework to understand how private and public interventions shape market dynamics and result in specific market outcomes, including efficiency, degree of market power and consumer mobility (Figure 1). The note will focus primarily on the retail banking sector as well as payment systems and discuss competitive dynamics in other parts of the financial sector only to the extent that they affect these two areas, for example in the context of financial conglomerates.Publication Chile - Financial Sector Assessment Program(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2021-04)This technical note explores the consequences of climate risks for the Chilean financial sector, and the role the financial sector can play in mobilizing resources to finance Chile’s transition to a climate resilient and low carbon economy. Globally, there is increasing attention being paid to the impact of climate related and environment risks (CRER) on the financial sector. Regulators and central banks – through the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) among other fora – are warning of the impact of CRER on the stability and soundness of financial sectors. These calls follow attention paid to this topic by the FSB Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and the G20 Sustainable Finance Working Group. There is also global recognition of the importance of financial sectors in mobilizing resources to meet the investment need coming from transitioning to a climate resilient and low carbon society as public resources and concessional finance are not sufficient. Part one will assess how the financial authorities understand and address climate risks. Part two will assess Chile’s efforts to stimulate climate finance.Publication Chile - Financial Sector Assessment Program(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2022-04)Chile has achieved high levels of financial inclusion relative to its level of economic development across a number of headline indicators. Unlike in other countries, gaps in account ownership between men and women, rich and poor, older and younger consumers, and rural consumers are not pronounced. Remaining challenges in financial inclusion include pockets of underserved segments and opportunities to further increase in online payments and digital financial services (DFS). There is also opportunity to improve the availability of savings, credit, and account products that are appropriately tailored to meet the needs of underserved consumers. Greater digitalization of the financial sector can help Chile to address some of the remaining challenges for financial inclusion in Chile. Several key elements of a well-functioning DFS ecosystem could be strengthened. At a broader level, the Fintech Bill should be passed to allow for greater innovation and competition in the financial sector. A range of opportunities exist to build off of Chile’s relatively advanced national payments infrastructure to help further expand in low-value retail payments and digital payments. There are indications that interest rate caps have inadvertently constrained access to finance for Chilean microenterprises. Legal and regulatory reforms could be considered to encourage microsavings. Banco Estado has played a huge role in advancing financial inclusion in Chile. To move to the next stage of financial inclusion, it is recommended that a national financial inclusion strategy (NFIS) be developed that is holistic and comprehensive.Publication A Framework for Assessing Systemic Risk(2010-04-01)When faced with financial crises, authorities worldwide tend to respond aggressively with public support measures. Given the adverse impact on moral hazard and market discipline, support measures involving public money are ideally limited to crisis situations involving systemic risk: a disturbance in the financial system that is serious enough to affect the real economy. This note sets out the main characteristics of a systemic risk assessment framework: a simple analytical framework that can be used by authorities with financial crisis management responsibilities in times of financial crisis to assess the extent to which that particular crisis situation poses systemic risk.

Publication Media and Messages for Nutrition and Health(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2020-06)The Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) has experienced rapid and significant economic growth over the past decade. However, poor nutritional outcomes remain a concern. Rates of childhood undernutrition are particularly high in remote, rural, and upland areas. Media have the potential to play an important role in shaping health and nutrition–related behaviors and practices as well as in promoting sociocultural and economic development that might contribute to improved nutritional outcomes. This report presents the results of a media audit (MA) that was conducted to inform the development and production of mass media advocacy and communication strategies and materials with a focus on maternal and child health and nutrition that would reach the most people from the poorest communities in northern Lao PDR. Making more people aware of useful information, essential services and products and influencing them to use these effectively is the ultimate goal of mass media campaigns, and the MA measures the potential effectiveness of media efforts to reach this goal. The effectiveness of communication channels to deliver health and nutrition messages to target beneficiaries to ensure maximum reach and uptake can be viewed in terms of preferences, satisfaction, and trust. Overall, the four most accessed media channels for receiving information among communities in the study areas were village announcements, mobile phones, television, and out-of-home (OOH) media. Of the accessed media channels, the top three most preferred channels were village announcements (40 percent), television (26 percent), and mobile phones (19 percent). In terms of trust, village announcements were the most trusted source of information (64 percent), followed by mobile phones (14 percent) and television (11 percent). Hence of all the media channels, village announcements are the most preferred, have the most satisfied users, and are the most trusted source of information in study communities from four provinces in Lao PDR with some of the highest burden of childhood undernutrition.Publication Economic Recovery(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2021-04-06)World Bank Group President David Malpass spoke about the world facing major challenges, including COVID, climate change, rising poverty and inequality and growing fragility and violence in many countries. He highlighted vaccines, working closely with Gavi, WHO, and UNICEF, the World Bank has conducted over one hundred capacity assessments, many even more before vaccines were available. The World Bank Group worked to achieve a debt service suspension initiative and increased transparency in debt contracts at developing countries. The World Bank Group is finalizing a new climate change action plan, which includes a big step up in financing, building on their record climate financing over the past two years. He noted big challenges to bring all together to achieve GRID: green, resilient, and inclusive development. Janet Yellen, U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, mentioned focusing on vulnerable people during the pandemic. Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, focused on giving everyone a fair shot during a sustainable recovery. All three commented on the importance of tackling climate change.Publication Good Practices for Financial Consumer Protection, 2017 Edition(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2017-12-12)Over the past decade, financial consumer protection has become an increasingly mainstream priority for policymakers. A strong consumer protection regime is key to ensuring that expanded access to financial services benefits consumers, enabling them to make well-informed decisions on how best to use financial services, building trust in the formal financial sector, and contributing to healthy and competitive financial markets. The World Bank’s Good Practices for Financial Consumer Protection (the Good Practices) was developed in 2012 as a contribution to the emerging global set of tools on financial consumer protection. Since then, international guidance and country practices regarding financial consumer protection have substantially evolved. The 2017 Good Practices is designed to serve as a comprehensive reference and assessment tool for policymakers that consolidates the latest research, international guidance, and country examples. A thorough update of the previous edition, this guide expands upon priority areas such as supervisory techniques, effective disclosure, and digital finance, and also emphasizes the practical considerations and tradeoffs that policymakers face when implementing new policies and practices.Publication South Asia Development Update, April 2024: Jobs for Resilience(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-04-02)South Asia is expected to continue to be the fastest-growing emerging market and developing economy (EMDE) region over the next two years. This is largely thanks to robust growth in India, but growth is also expected to pick up in most other South Asian economies. However, growth in the near-term is more reliant on the public sector than elsewhere, whereas private investment, in particular, continues to be weak. Efforts to rein in elevated debt, borrowing costs, and fiscal deficits may eventually weigh on growth and limit governments' ability to respond to increasingly frequent climate shocks. Yet, the provision of public goods is among the most effective strategies for climate adaptation. This is especially the case for households and farms, which tend to rely on shifting their efforts to non-agricultural jobs. These strategies are less effective forms of climate adaptation, in part because opportunities to move out of agriculture are limited by the region’s below-average employment ratios in the non-agricultural sector and for women. Because employment growth is falling short of working-age population growth, the region fails to fully capitalize on its demographic dividend. Vibrant, competitive firms are key to unlocking the demographic dividend, robust private investment, and workers’ ability to move out of agriculture. A range of policies could spur firm growth, including improved business climates and institutions, the removal of financial sector restrictions, and greater openness to trade and capital flows.Publication Remarks at the United Nations Biodiversity Conference(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2021-10-12)World Bank Group President David Malpass discussed biodiversity and climate change being closely interlinked, with terrestrial and marine ecosystems serving as critically important carbon sinks. At the same time climate change acts as a direct driver of biodiversity and ecosystem services loss. The World Bank has financed biodiversity conservation around the world, including over 116 million hectares of Marine and Coastal Protected Areas, 10 million hectares of Terrestrial Protected Areas, and over 300 protected habitats, biological buffer zones and reserves. The COVID pandemic, biodiversity loss, climate change are all reminders of how connected we are. The recovery from this pandemic is an opportunity to put in place more effective policies, institutions, and resources to address biodiversity loss.
