Chile: Development In Transition

Development In Transition: New Realities, New Approaches

Chile is in an economic situation different from that of the early 1990s and the cooperation that the country demands today is another. But it is still necessary, because economic growth and development are matters that require different treatment.

In 2013, the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) reviewed the list of countries eligible for Official Development Assistance (ODA) and determined that Chile, Uruguay and Antigua and Barbuda, high-income countries , would graduate in October 2017 if they continued to exceed the per capita income threshold set by the World Bank (approximately $ 12,700). That is to say, in concrete terms, for the DAC the three countries mentioned have reached a level of development that leaves them out of the possibility to be recipients of cooperation.
