Chile delivers PPP through public works concessions. The consolidated Public Works Concessions Law (Decree 900 of 1996) makes the Ministry of Public Works the competent body and lets any natural or legal person propose a public work under the concession system. Chile is an ICSID member and a party to the New York Convention.
The Ministry of Public Works is the competent body. Any natural or legal person may propose a public work for execution under the concession system (Art. 2). We checked the Ministry's copy of the text; look up later amendments in Ley Chile.
We have not yet checked a separate foreign investment or investment screening law for this jurisdiction against an official source, so we do not summarise one here.
The constitutional property provision has not yet been checked against the official text, so we do not summarise it here.
