Chile is undergoing a period of significant economic and digital expansion. In the first seven months of 2026, the country reached a record 140,412 new business incorporations, the highest cumulative total for that period since 2013. The Simplified Registration System (RES) facilitated over 90% of these new companies, with the SpA corporate structure being the most prevalent.

This trend of formalization is complemented by a rapid digital transformation. Digital payments in Chile increased by 15% over the previous year, totaling over 7,700 million transactions. This shift is expected to contribute $740 million to the GDP by 2028. Furthermore, Chile has been recognized by the OECD as one of the ten most advanced digital governments globally, supported by an interoperability platform that integrates over 560 public agencies.
