A few days ago, during my visit to our Miami office and meetings with banks and financial institutions, I had the opportunity to speak with JP Morgan about the outlook for the region.
The message was clear: 2026 is shaping up as a year of moderation in Latin America and Chile.
Growth is projected at around 2%, accompanied by gradual #interestrate cuts. Risks remain — high external rates, currency volatility, fiscal pressures — but opportunities are also emerging in sectors like #energy, #mining, and #infrastructure.
From my experience in wealth structuring and protection, I see a scenario where the key will not be speculation, but rather the ability to design solid strategies that capture opportunities without becoming exposed to short-term swings.
In these environments, the key is not just to invest, but to structure international investments correctly. For example:
*Under the Chile–U.S. Double Taxation Treaty, interest paid from Chile to the U.S. can benefit from a reduced withholding rate at source (10% or even 4% in certain cases), substantially improving the net return on debt-financed projects.
*Regarding capital gains, Trump’s recent One Big Beautiful Bill Act proposal seeks to reduce the corporate tax burden and simplify the treatment of dividends and capital gains for foreign investors, opening the door to more competitive structures when investing in the U.S.
The lesson is clear: leveraging treaties and tax reforms is not an accessory detail — it is what makes the difference between a vulnerable investment and a protected, profitable one.
