Chilean regional decentralization and state reform

Overview

Discussions regarding the modernization of Chilean governance have focused on regional empowerment and state reform. In La Araucanía, the “Chile Vuelve a Creer” dialogue brought together public, private, and academic sectors to contribute to the State Transformation Agenda 2026–2030. This initiative seeks to optimize resources and improve service delivery to meet regional needs.

Building on these themes of reform, experts have emphasized that effective decentralization requires a model that includes fiscal autonomy and the transfer of competencies to regional governments. Proposals suggest that regions should move beyond administrative transfers to gain the ability to manage their own budgets and investment priorities. Additionally, there are calls for regional authorities to act as economic promoters to attract foreign direct investment for infrastructure and environmental management.
