Chile is a copper exporting country, the only AAA rated country in South America, has a budget surplus (4.5% of GDP), tiny govt/public debt (3.8% of GDP), and relatively strong reserves (23% of M2, or 2.29x public debt). I believe the Chilean Peso is up 12% in 2009 vs. the USD. In an earlier comment, I suggested the Brazilian Real may be a sound currency given therecent S&P upgrade, the strong agricultural exports, the future oil production, relatively strong central bank, and growing middle class. But now I realize the Brazilian Real also has some liquidity/credit risks. Has anyone explored the Chilean Peso as a sound currency?
