Economic history of Chile |
---|
The Vuskovic Plan was the basis for the economic policy of the Popular Unity (UP) government of Chilean President Salvador Allende. It was drafted by and named after his first Economics Minister Pedro Vuskovic, who had worked before with the CEPAL. Although good results were obtained in 1970,[1], following massive levels of United States intervention in Chile, hyperinflation made a comeback in 1972. By 1973 inflation was still soaring, the country had no foreign reserves, and GDP was falling.[2]
