Sebastián Piñera Mining Program 2018 – 2022

The Chilean elections wrapped up Sunday with the former president, Sebastian Pinera, easily winning Chile's presidential runoff vote. Piñera got 54.6 percent of the votes to 45.4 percent for center-left Sen. Alejandro Guillier, with nearly all the ballots counted.

The Chilean economy, although more diversified in recent years, is highly dependent on the mining industry. Piñera has stated that he will position the mining sector as an economic engine that will recover growth and generate employment.

MINERÍA CHILENA recently published an article that outlines the upcoming Presidents programs for the mining sector between 2018 and 2022. Below we have provided a summary in English based on MINERÍA CHILENA´s interview with the former undersecretary of mining. Francisco Orrego.
