Economic decline in Magallanes region

Overview

In the Magallanes region, Senator Alejandro Kusanovic has requested additional government funding to address a decline in economic activity. Data from the Ministry of the Interior and the Central Bank indicated that the regional GDP fell by approximately 2% during the second quarter of 2025, alongside a 0.3% decrease in household consumption.

Despite a 6.3% growth in regional exports during that same period, Kusanovic has called for “short-term aggressive measures” to support local industries, stimulate employment, and prevent further economic deterioration. He emphasized that the strategic importance of the Strait of Magallanes should be a factor in budgetary decisions and the financing of infrastructure projects.
