Introduction
In recent years, Chile has returned to the high growth it saw in the 1990s. This trend took a hit during the global economic crisis: falling commodity prices resulted in Chilean GDP growth declining to 3.1% in 2008, and the country went through recession in 2009, with the economy contracting by 1.7%. However, due to prudent policies the economy grew by over 5.2% in 2010.
