Amid the election season, Central Bank president Rosanna Costa released a study that directly links minimum-wage increases to unemployment, recasting her long-held orthodox stance against the wage floor, unions, and sector-wide bargaining into a polished econometric case.

Key documents — including fees paid to Morgan Stanley and the CORFO meeting that empowered Codelco to negotiate with SQM — remain undisclosed. Despite Máximo Pacheco’s refusal to provide them to Congress, Chile’s Comptroller General can scrutinize CORFO’s contracts and could go further by examining records from the opaque Codelco–SQM negotiations over the Salar de Atacama lithium project.

In September, Chile's Social Security Institute raised the Universal Guaranteed Pension (PGU) to CLP $250,000 for about 391,000 people aged 82 and over—the first step in a pension reform that will expand in 2026 and 2027—and has already lifted payments for more than 740,000 beneficiaries, including invalidity pensions and disability subsidies.
