CLThe article discusses Chile's Minister of Finance, Jorge Quiroz, announcing plans for a capital market reform aimed at improving housing access and reducing investment barriers. The reform seeks to address outdated regulations that hinder foreign investors, such as the requirement for a RUT, a 4% withholding tax, and stamp duties on certain credits. Quiroz criticized these measures as overly burdensome, comparing them to 'chocolates costing a million' in a refrigerator.

The reform is part of the second phase of the government’s economic agenda following the approval of the National Reconstruction Project.
