Chile's government has granted Codelco, the world's largest copper producer, a significant financial boost by allowing it to retain and reinvest 100% of its 2025 profits. This historic decision, confirmed by Economy and Mining Minister Daniel Mas, means the state-owned company can capitalize all earnings from the previous fiscal year.

Mas announced the milestone during an event celebrating Miner's Day, highlighting the government's commitment to strengthening the national copper company. The move is expected to provide Codelco with substantial funds for investment, potentially enhancing its operational capacity and future projects.

The authorization marks a departure from previous policies, signaling a strategic shift in how the government supports its key state-owned enterprise. By enabling full profit capitalization, Chile aims to bolster Codelco's financial health and its ability to compete globally in the copper market.

The 100% of Codelco's profits in 2025 can be capitalized by the copper company.
