  7. CHILE Chile ranked 37th out of 185 economies (and first amongst Latin American & Caribbean countries) in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Report 2013. The country has open policies towards foreign direct investment (FDI) and trade (8.5% of total GDP between 2007 and 2012). The country’s information and communications technology (ICT) sector is amongst the most advanced at regional level. However, Chile’s capacity for innovation remains limited partly due to relatively low investment in research and development (R&D) activities (0.3% of total GDP). The quality of the Chilean educational system is perceived as weak, which contributes to create skills shortages and to dampen the country’s capacity for innovation. Productivity levels in Chile (measured as GDP per person employed) are the highest in Latin America at US$32,114 in 2012, although remain well below the OECD average of US$77,080 in the same year.

  8. BRAZIL In the Ease of Doing Business 2012, Brazil ranked 126th out of 183 economies as excessive bureaucratic procedures continue to be embedded in the country’s business climate. However, factors like a developed financial system, generally open policies towards foreign direct investment (FDI), and a large consumer market contribute to make the country more competitive. In 2011, Brazil’s total expenditure on Research and Development (R&D) as a percentage of total GDP was the largest in Latin America at 1.2%. The overall quality of education in Brazil is lacking and the county’s productivity levels do not totally correspond to its high wages. Brazil offers considerable opportunities in its consumer market, the largest in Latin America, worth R$2.4 trillion (US$1.5 trillion) in 2011. Source: Euromonitor International 2013
