智利與跨太平洋夥伴全面進步協定

Chile and Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership

智利是第一個被納入經濟合作與發展組織的南美洲國家，公認為拉丁美洲的經濟模範生。1970年代芝加哥學派主導國家經濟發展，各時期政府持續推動對外開放的自由主義經濟，迄今與64個市場簽訂了26項商業協議，這些市場總計囊括超過全球人口的六成和八成六的GDP。本研究觀察智利的經濟發展與對外貿易特色，仰賴天然資源初級產品出口的智利，以確保出口市場作為開放準則。從單邊開放、雙邊到多邊協議的簽訂，出口擴張順利，相關經濟統計的數據和指標受到國際讚譽。然而隨著市場開放消費指數上揚、收入不平等、環境和原住民族及勞動者權益受損，加上近年來智利的GDP成長率顯著下降，貿易餘額呈現負成長，國內出現反對簽署自貿協定的聲浪，造成身爲CPTPP發起國之一的智利迄今沒有批准的結果。

Chile is the first South American country to enter the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development and is recognized as an economical model in Latin America. In the 1970s, the ＂Chicago boys＂ dominated the country's economic development, and the government continued to promote a liberal economy policy. To date, 26 commercial agreements have been signed with 64 markets, which account for more than 60% of the world's population and 86% of GDP. This article observes Chile's economic development and foreign trade characteristics. Chile, which relies on the export of primary products of natural resources, ensures the open market as the top criterion. From unilateral opening to the signing of bilateral to multilateral agreements, exports have expanded smoothly and the data and indicators of relevant economic statistics have received international acclaim. However, with the rising consumption index due to market opening, income inequality, damage to the environment and the rights of indigenous people and laborers, coupled with a significant decline in Chile's GDP growth rate in recent years, the trade balance has shown negative growth, the domestic oppositions to signing a free trade agreement has emerged. As a result, Chile, one of the sponsoring countries of the CPTPP, has so far not ratified it.
