Chile producirá la menor cantidad de cobre desde 2003 y pone en riesgo su crecimiento económico
Por Miguel Martín, editor de Minería & Desarrollo
La Comisión Chilena del Cobre proyecta que la producción caerá 8,4% en 2026 y llegará a 4,94 millones de toneladas, su menor nivel en 23 años. Escondida, Codelco y Spence explican más del 77% de la disminución, mientras los elevados precios internacionales no alcanzan para disipar las dudas sobre la recuperación económica chilena en 2027.
