Posture describes what an economy is doing; it is not a rating and never ranks countries. Each input is read against the country’s own history and against every other economy that year. An axis shows a score only after passing a back-test fixed before any result was computed. Method and back-test.

Where Chile is in its cycles

Where Chile sits in eight long cycles, each read from published statistics against a method fixed before any reading was computed. A stage describes; it is not a rating, and no stage is better or worse than another.

All Country Schemas · How they work

Passport reach

Where a Chile passport opens doors

The share of world GDP, outside Chile itself, in the economies whose published rules let a holder of this passport in, as of October 2026. Palanor records the rules of destinations holding 88% of world GDP, from each government’s own list, and weights them by World Bank GDP for 2025. Rank is among 199 passports.

Visit

82.1%

rank 28 of 199

short stays without a visa arranged in advance; 45 destinations in full.

Work

25.9%

rank 35 of 199

the right to work (free movement in full; treaty and working-holiday routes at half); 1 destination in full, 19 at half.

Live

1.9%

rank 38 of 199

a right to reside by nationality; 1 destination in full.

Recorded changes

  • 2025-06-01China · visit: Visa required → Visa-free source
  • 2025-01-08United Kingdom · visit: Visa-free → Online travel authorisation source

Reach is shown here and not weighted into Country Strength: it rewards membership of a free-movement area or a treaty more than the strength of an economy. Entry is always at the border officer’s discretion, and conditions (length of stay, fees, age limits) vary. Method, sources and the full ranking: Passports and citizenship.

Palanor calculation from each destination government's published rules; GDP weights from the World Bank (CC BY 4.0), one year for the whole line, so it moves only when a list changes.

GDP by expenditure

What Chile’s economy runs on

In 2025, household spending was 56.7% of GDP, government consumption 15.1%, investment 24.1% and net exports +4.1% (exports 34.6%, imports 30.4%).

IMF World Economic Outlook

The IMF’s outlook for Chile

The latest year before the October 2026 edition (often still an IMF estimate) and the IMF’s own projections. These are the IMF’s published forecasts, shown as published; Palanor does not project them further. Since the previous edition the IMF cut its growth forecast for this year by 1.8 percentage points (Palanor calculation).
