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 State and Trends of Carbon Pricing 2024(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-05-21)This report provides an up-to-date overview of existing and emerging carbon pricing instruments around the world, including international, national, and subnational initiatives. It also investigates trends surrounding the development and implementation of carbon pricing instruments and some of the drivers seen over the past year. Specifically, this report covers carbon taxes, emissions trading systems (ETSs), and crediting mechanisms. Key topics covered in the 2024 report include uptake of ETSs and carbon taxes in low- and middle- income economies, sectoral coverage of ETSs and carbon taxes, and the use of crediting mechanisms as part of the policy mix.Publication Business Ready 2024(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-10-03)Business Ready (B-READY) is a new World Bank Group corporate flagship report that evaluates the business and investment climate worldwide. It replaces and improves upon the Doing Business project. B-READY provides a comprehensive data set and description of the factors that strengthen the private sector, not only by advancing the interests of individual firms but also by elevating the interests of workers, consumers, potential new enterprises, and the natural environment. This 2024 report introduces a new analytical framework that benchmarks economies based on three pillars: Regulatory Framework, Public Services, and Operational Efficiency. The analysis centers on 10 topics essential for private sector development that correspond to various stages of the life cycle of a firm. The report also offers insights into three cross-cutting themes that are relevant for modern economies: digital adoption, environmental sustainability, and gender. B-READY draws on a robust data collection process that includes specially tailored expert questionnaires and firm-level surveys. The 2024 report, which covers 50 economies, serves as the first in a series that will expand in geographical coverage and refine its methodology over time, supporting reform advocacy, policy guidance, and further analysis and research.Publication Disentangling the Key Economic Channels through Which Infrastructure Affects Jobs(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-04-03)This paper takes stock of the literature on infrastructure and jobs published since the early 2000s, using a conceptual framework to identify the key channels through which different types of infrastructure impact jobs. Where relevant, it highlights the different approaches and findings in the cases of energy, digital, and transport infrastructure. Overall, the literature review provides strong evidence of infrastructure’s positive impact on employment, particularly for women. In the case of electricity, this impact arises from freeing time that would otherwise be spent on household tasks. Similarly, digital infrastructure, particularly mobile phone coverage, has demonstrated positive labor market effects, often driven by private sector investments rather than large public expenditures, which are typically required for other large-scale infrastructure projects. The evidence on structural transformation is also positive, with some notable exceptions, such as studies that find no significant impact on structural transformation in rural India in the cases of electricity and roads. Even with better market connections, remote areas may continue to lack economic opportunities, due to the absence of agglomeration economies and complementary inputs such as human capital. Accordingly, reducing transport costs alone may not be sufficient to drive economic transformation in rural areas. The spatial dimension of transformation is particularly relevant for transport, both internationally—by enhancing trade integration—and within countries, where economic development tends to drive firms and jobs toward urban centers, benefitting from economies scale and network effects. Turning to organizational transformation, evidence on skill bias in developing countries is more mixed than in developed countries and may vary considerably by context. Further research, especially on the possible reasons explaining the differences between developed and developing economies, is needed.Publication Global Economic Prospects, June 2025(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-06-10)The global economy is facing another substantial headwind, emanating largely from an increase in trade tensions and heightened global policy uncertainty. For emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs), the ability to boost job creation and reduce extreme poverty has declined. Key downside risks include a further escalation of trade barriers and continued policy uncertainty. These challenges are exacerbated by subdued foreign direct investment into EMDEs. Global cooperation is needed to restore a more stable international trade environment and scale up support for vulnerable countries grappling with conflict, debt burdens, and climate change. Domestic policy action is also critical to contain inflation risks and strengthen fiscal resilience. To accelerate job creation and long-term growth, structural reforms must focus on raising institutional quality, attracting private investment, and strengthening human capital and labor markets. Countries in fragile and conflict situations face daunting development challenges that will require tailored domestic policy reforms and well-coordinated multilateral support.Publication Global Economic Prospects, January 2025(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2025-01-16)Global growth is expected to hold steady at 2.7 percent in 2025-26. However, the global economy appears to be settling at a low growth rate that will be insufficient to foster sustained economic development—with the possibility of further headwinds from heightened policy uncertainty and adverse trade policy shifts, geopolitical tensions, persistent inflation, and climate-related natural disasters. Against this backdrop, emerging market and developing economies are set to enter the second quarter of the twenty-first century with per capita incomes on a trajectory that implies substantially slower catch-up toward advanced-economy living standards than they previously experienced. Without course corrections, most low-income countries are unlikely to graduate to middle-income status by the middle of the century. Policy action at both global and national levels is needed to foster a more favorable external environment, enhance macroeconomic stability, reduce structural constraints, address the effects of climate change, and thus accelerate long-term growth and development.
