Description

A partir de mediados de 1981, la economía chilena experi­mentó una aguda caída en sus niveles de actividad y empleo, como consecuencia de: el significativo aumento de las tasas de interés prevalecientes en los mercados externos, la nueva disminución de los términos de intercambio, y las dificultades que esta situación planteaba para el acceso de financiamiento externo.
