NOT GROWING ENOUGH<br />

GDP GROWTH OF 4.7% ANNUALLY FROM 1980 – 2005 (double Latin<br />

American Average and more than average of India)<br />

So, if we are doing so well why don´t we just apply the old saying, “If it aint broke,<br />

don´t fix it”. Why are we concerned about growth?<br />

2006 shows growth of less than 5%, although price of CU all time high<br />

Why not 8% as in early 1990´s?<br />

“Chile is a clear example of the need for Latin America´s economies to complement<br />

their excellent natural resources and production of commodities with high-valueadded,<br />

knowledge based activities to build global business undperpined by<br />

technology” (The McKinsey Quarterly, Heinz-Peter Elstrodt, 2007, Special Edition)<br />
