Chile and Peru

In January–July 2026, Chile sold US$ 1,437 million of goods to Peru — 1.8% of all it exported, 20% more than in the same months of 2025 — and bought US$ 1,343 million from it, 2.6% of its imports. What it sells most there is «Servicios considerados exportación de conformidad al artículo 17 y si…» (34%). The 2024 census counted 233,432 people born in Peru living in Chile, 15% of everyone born abroad. 2,501 Chileans are registered to vote there.

Survey estimates: 1,979 people born in Peru answered the Casen 2024 and stand for 242,249. The Casen expands to projections based on the 2017 census, so it does not give the 2024 census figure above. 2024 poverty is measured with the new methodology and is not compared with earlier years.

How it is measured

Trade
Every export and import declaration Aduanas processed, added up. Exports are valued FOB and imports CIF. The figures at the top add up January–July 2026, against the same months a year before; a country has a trade profile if it moved at least US$ 1.0 million with Chile over every month the databases cover.
Born there
The 2024 census and the Casen 2024 ask the same thing: in which comuna or country the mother lived when the person was born. The census counts everyone; the Casen is a survey expanded to projections based on the 2017 census, so its totals differ. The two are shown side by side and never multiplied together.
Which country has a Casen profile
One with at least 300 people born there surveyed: with fewer, a rate moves by whole points from one household to the next. The Ministry publishes the same profile for seven countries, and every figure it publishes is rebuilt here and has to match.
Chileans there
SERVEL's roll counts the Chileans registered to vote abroad, by country. It leaves out those who did not register and their underage children: it is a floor, not the number of Chileans living there.
