Fiscal prudence: growing up

The article discusses Chile's economic challenges, focusing on the need for fiscal prudence and growth. It highlights the current low growth rate of 2% and the importance of the government's proposed law (PDL) to increase annual growth by 0.5 percentage points until 2040. However, the article warns that the fiscal situation remains fragile, with public debt approaching the 45% of GDP threshold. It notes that structural deficits have increased under recent governments, and the PDL's fiscal targets do not offer significant improvement. The article argues that without stronger fiscal adjustments, the country risks prolonged high deficits and undermines the goal of sustainable growth.
