Chile economy to grow 2.9pc in 2018 and 2019: OECD

SANTIAGO: Chile's economy will grow 2.9 percent in 2018 and 2019 as copper prices rebound and investment recovers gradually, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) said in a report published on Monday.

That represents an improvement on economic expansions of 1.5 percent and 1.7 percent in 2016 and 2017, respectively, when weak copper prices contributed to a deceleration in the South American country's growth rate, according to the OECD.
