  • The Central Bank revised the preliminary figures reported in February, indicating that last year’s FDI growth was 10.8%.
In March, as it does every year, the Central Bank reviewed the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) figures recorded and reported in the previous months. This time, the Central Bank revised the cumulative net FDI inflow for 2025, which now stands at US$14.5 billion—US$361 million more than the figure published in February (US$14.2 billion).

The review also included a revision of the 2024 FDI figure, which rose from US$12.5 billion to US$13.1 billion, placing the 2025 total10.8% higher than the previous year.

The 2022 figure was also increased by US$842 million, bringing the final amount to US$19.2 billion.

According to InvestChile’s analysis, over the last five years, FDI has averaged US$16.2 billion, which is 63% higher than the US$9.9 billion averaged over the five-year period between 2016 and 2020. The increase reflects a significant recovery relative to the pandemic years.

In 2025, reinvested earnings made up the largest share of cumulative FDI inflows at US$9 billion, followed by equity holdings at US$5.8 billion. Related-party debt stood at -US$214 million.
