Lower House Labour Committee Approves Pension Reform Bill

CHILE
  • According to a message from the Labour Ministry, the Lower House Labour Committee approved President Boric’s pension reform bill last night, with the votes of all members of the government’s coalition party. The bill includes the elimination of incumbent private pension fund managers and will also have employers contributing 6% of employees gross salaries to pensions. The bill now moves to the Lower House’s Finance Committee, before being voted on in the Lower and Upper Houses of Congress.
  • In line with regional peers, the Chilean peso has opened weaker this morning, against the backdrop of a stronger USD and higher US yields. Price action sees USDCLP narrow the gap with touted resistance at 924.67, the Nov 13 high, which notably capped last week’s rally. With no data releases scheduled today, local assets will likely continue to be shaped by the evolution of global risk sentiment.
