CRESTA zones were originally developed as a joint project of the Swiss Reinsurance Company, the Gerling-Konzern Globale Reinsurance Company and the Munich Reinsurance Company. Europa Technologies was part of the original team who brought the standard into the digital mapping era and has maintained a CRESTA zone map data product longer than any other vendor.

Insurance professionals need accurate and reliable maps and databases. In today’s times of climate change, demand has increased for location intelligence to manage risks and reduce exposure. Our CRESTA zones map data for Chile offers insurers an important basis for aggregated risk assessment, exposure management and reinsurance negotiation & reporting.

Country Summary

The Republic of Chile is situated in the western part of South America, the ribbon-like strip of land between the Andes to its east and its western Pacific coastline. It is the southernmost country in the world, and the closest to Antarctica. Sharing land borders with Peru, Bolivia and Argentina, Chile also controls the Pacific islands of Juan Fernandez, Isla Salas y Gomez, Desventuradas as well as Easter Island. It also claims territory in Antarctica. The capital is Santiago.
Chile made up much of the Incan Empire, until Spanish conquests in the sixteenth century, which failed to conquer the south-central part of the country. After independence from Spain, by 1830 Chile was becoming a stable authoritarian republic. By the end of the nineteenth century, after territorial wars with Peru and Bolivia, Chile emerged geo-politically as the country we are familiar with today.
Always relatively stable and free of coups and arbitrary governments which characterise so much of South America, Chile did experience severe political polarisation in the 1960s and 1970s, culminating in a coup which installed Pinochet as the leader of the new military dictatorship. The regime finally ended in 1990. The country is now run as a representative, democratic republic, divided into sixteen regions, fifty-six provinces and 348 communes.
One of South America’s most prosperous nations, Chile has had a fairly stable economy. With a wealth of mineral resources, copper mining alone accounts for 20% of Chilean GDP and Chile produces one third of the world’s copper. Although not such a significant economic sector, Chilean agriculture is directed towards high value fruits and vegetables for export including beef, poultry, grapes, asparagus cherries and wine. Due to the dramatic topography of the country, arable land constitutes less than 3% of the territory. The finance and service sectors are expanding and tourism is a growing focus for the economy.
Over 89% of Chile’s people live in urban areas, with 40% living in and around Santiago. A diverse population, Chile is home to immigrants from all over Europe and other parts of the world, including a number of Latin American countries.
A rich culture driven by Andean heritage and European migrants, Chile is home to an array of influences. Architecture is strongly influenced by Spanish, English and French settlers as well as German migrants in the south, responsible for the Bavarian styles of architecture and food. Long considered a country of poets, Chile has a strong literary heritage. Traditional music styles and folklore continue still. Chile’s music scene is vibrant and varied. The national sport is soccer.
On the world stage, Chile is a member of the United Nations, OECD and the Pacific Alliance.
