Over the last decade, Chilean exports have become more concentrated in raw and
semi-processed copper and a few other natural resources. This trend was a reversal pattern observed
through 2003, when the country increased the number of goods and services exported and incorporated
new enterprises into the exporting process. From 2003 onwards, however, exports become less
diversified as the price of copper, salmon and other commodity export products rose steeply. This
caused Chile’s external revenues to be increasingly sensitive to international price fluctuation of
these products. Moreover, the reduction of export diversification may have negative effects on
technological spillovers, productivity growth, employment creation, the participation of small and
medium-sized enterprises in exports, income distribution and poverty.
