Chile’s new President José Antonio Kast called on investors in the South American nation to commit more capital to the country in his first speech to that community Wednesday morning.

“We want to ask you to take a chance on Chile,” Kast said at a BTG Pactual event in Santiago. “Each of you can do more than you are already doing perhaps. But look to the future, choose Chile, decide to invest here.”
