Allende has roundly c;ondcmned the role of foreign capital in Chile and pledged to nationalize large segments of the economy, including most if not all enterprises with foreign ownership. He also has stated that foreign aid agreements with the United States will be denounced and that Chile will "take as long as possible" to pay off existing debts. This memorandum assesses the financial exposure of the US private sector and the US government in Chile. US Private Sector Assets in Chile 1. At a minimum, US private assets in Chile total about $1.5 billion. Of this amount, we esti- mate the book value of US direct investments* at $800 million. The replacement or market value of these investments, while difficult to estimate, is obviously considerably higher. The remaining US private assets include the following: * The amortized value of company equity investments and direct parent company bane to Chilean eubsid- iariee. Note: This memorandum was produced solely by CIA. It was prepared by the Office of Economic Research and was coordinated with the Office of Current InteZZigence and the Office of National Estimates.

During the past two years the book value of direct investment in-Chile has declined sharply, despite, the massive copper expansion program nearing completion, and it now represents only about 6% of total, US investment in Latin America. ;Direct investment fell from $964 million at the .end of 1968 to $846 million at the end of 1969, largely because Anaconda was forced to sell Chile 51% of its two producing mines for $175 million. The $80 million sale of Boise Cascade Corporation's interest in the Chilean Electric Power Company in August 1970 reduced the total further. In both cases, the US firms received long-term Chilean government notes as payment. Kennecott Copper Corporation was similarly reimbursed when it sold a 51% interest in its large El Teniente mine for $85.million,in 1967. As she Chilean government paid off these notes, Kennecott enlarged its direct investment by;reioaning the funds to the new joint .company, as previously agreed. 3. Considerably more than half of US direct investment is concentrated in mining and smelting, especially copper mines qnd processing facilities (see the table). Investment in public utilities, mainly the telephone and telegraph systems, is also substantial. Although investment in manu- facturing and trade is relatively small, numerous companies have subsidiaries, branches, or sales offices in Chile (see:,the attached unclassified listing). - 2 - CONFIDENTIAL Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/02/28: CIA-RDP85T00875R001600030141-2 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/02/28: CIA-RDP85T00875R001600030141-2 0 CONFIDENTIAL Chile: Book Value of Direct US Investment Million US $ End of End of CIA Estimate, September 1968 1969 1970 Mining and smelting 586 452 480 Manufacturing 68 65 65 Trade 39 41 40 Communications, electric power, and other 270 288 215 US Government Guaranties 4. If Chile expropriates without adequate compensation, blocks repatriation of profits and capital, and defaults on loans, US firms would be able to draw on government credit and investment guaranties to cover an important share of their losses. The Export-Import Bank has insured $64 million in export credit financing, mainly long- term. More important, investors in Chile have been among the leading participants in the Specific Risk Investment Guaranty Program, administered by the Agency for International Development (AID). 5. The Investment Guaranty Program, as presently constituted, was initiated in the early 1960s tc encourage direct private investment in less developed areas by insuring investors against losses from war and insurrection, expropriation without adequate and timely compensation, or inconvertibility of local currency holdings. Only new investments are covered, and AID establishes a maximum coverage based on the project's estimated cost plus anticipated retained earnings during an agreed-upon period. Within this limit, the investor may select either stand-by or current coverage against one or all specified risks. Only current coverage provides immediate protection; stand-by coverage, which costs considerably less, merely gives the investor an option to convert to current coverage as investment proceeds. This option can be exercised only once a year -- on the anniversary of the policy date. - 3 - CONFIDENTIAL Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/02/28: CIA-RDP85T00875R001600030141-2 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/02/28: CIA-RDP85T00875R001600030141-2 CONFIDENTIAL 6. As of 10 September 1970, US investors in Chile had current coverage against expropriation totaling $293 million and stand-by coverage for an additional $355 million (see the Appendix)'. A sub- stantial portion -- $235 million -- of this stand-by total represents the maximum coverage on two Anaconda projects whose eligibility is now in dispute, however. Although most investment expenditures on these projects already have been made and the company has opted for current coverage, full conversion of Anaconda's stand-by coverage is unlikely.* The remaining $120 million in stand-by coverage repre- sents investments US companies had planned to make. These firms are not expecting to invest more than $20 million to $30 million in the next year, how- ever, and thus in the coming months will opt for additional current coverage only on this amount. Current protection against the risk of inconver= tible currency amounts to only $51 million, but an additional $645 million is on stand-by, including $235 million in coverage that Anaconda claims is still valid. Although US firms can convert their stand-by coverage to current coverage against ex- propriation only before their assets are affected, they may shift from stand-by to current coverage for protection against inconvertibility after the local government has taken action. Anaconda a year ago agreed under severe pressure to sell its-major properties -- the Chuquicamata and EZ Salvador mines -- to the Chilean government, and the issue between AID and the company on these properties' eligibility for coverage is still un- resolved. Anaconda temporarily retains a 49% equity in these properties but is committed to relinquishing it. Under the 1969 agreement, which Allende says he will not honor, Anaconda will keep this equity until sometime after 1 January 1973, when the Chilean government would buy out its remaining shares. Actual investment in these properties that is subject to coverage under the guaranty program totals $186 million; the company has not accumulated any part of the $49 million in retained earnings allowed in the original AID-Anaconda contract. It is possible that only $91 million, or 49% of the investment, will be judged eligible for guaranty coverage. - d - CONFIDENTIAL Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/02/28: CIA-RDP85T00875R001600030141-2 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/02/28: CIA-RDP85T00875R001600030141-2 CONFIDENTIAL potential Private Loss 7. If Allende becomes Chile's president on 4 November and promptly expropriates all US proper- ties and repudiates financial claims, American business could suffer a net loss of up to $1 bil- lion. This sum does not include the difference between the $800 million book value of direct investment and the likely market value of these assets. The $1 billion estimate assumes that: The Anaconda propertia)s partly nationalized by Chile in 1969 will be ruled ineligible for coverage under the Investment Guaranty Program; and US financial instituti',ns and in- dustri.'a corporations will riot be able to reduce their short-term loans by more than 50% before default. The ingredients of this worst-case estimate are summarized as follows: Million U'< S Direct investment (book value) 800 Chilean government notes from past nationalisatio?.1a 255 Less estimated. expropriation coverage under Investment Guaranty Program Net loss 755 Long-term loans 105 Less Export-Import Be ' and insurance guaranties 62 Net lose 43 Short-term credits 270 Less estimated reduction before default 135 Net lose 135 Chilean government bonds 45 Less estimated reduction before default Negl.

Even if Allende exproprated US firms fairly early in his administration, the net private loss would be reduced by somewhere between $91 mil- lion and $186 million if Anaconda received a favor- able decision on the investment guaranty gpestion. In the unlikely event that Allende would permit repaying of private US loans to help maintain Chile's worldwide credit standing and would provide partial compensation for nationalized properties, private losses would be further reduced. US Government's Exposure to Loss 9. Because Chile has been one of Latin America's main aid recipients, it has a substantial debt to the US government. On 30 June 1970, outstanding obligations (disbursements less repayments) totaled $900 mil".ion. More than half the debt arose from AID loans, mainly with long maturities and 1,c~:: . interest rates. Loans from the Export-Impo;:t Bank also were large, as the following tabulation of balances outstanding shows: Million US $ AID loans 525.7 Repayable in dollars 490.4 Repayable in escudos 35.3 Food for peace programs (excluding AID loans from PL-480 sales proceeds) 47.8 Export-Import Bank loans 318.0 Military aid credits 8.8 10. Total US government losses could run as high as $1.6 billion on debt default and expropria- tion, if all possible expropriation coverage (including Anaconda's contested claims) now held under the investment Guaranty Program came into effect before hostile actions were taken. Washington not only could suffer a $900 million debt repudi;t- tion but could be liable for $64 million in claims CONFIDENTIAL Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/02/28: CIA-RDP85T00875R001600030141-2 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/02/28: CIA-RDP85T00875R001600030141-2 CONFIDENTIAL under Export-Import Bank credit guaranties and, in the event of total expropriation without com- pensation, for between $300 million and $650 mil- lion under the Investment Guaranty Program. If Anaconda were awarded only a $91 million settle- ment and expropriation action were taken by the end of 1970, US government losses would be likely to run somewhat less than $1.4 billion. Should Chile move to block foreign exchange remittances, the US government also would be committed to pur- chase, over time, a maximum of nearly $700 million in inconvertible escudos held by US investors covered under the investment Guaranty Program. The government's additional losses in such an event cannot be estimated.* Conclusions 11. An Allende government would threaten a US public and private financial stake in Chile that now totals at least $2.4 billion. Privately held assets amount to nearly $1.5 billion, counting direct in- vestments only at their $800 million book value even though they are worth considerably more. The US government has outstanding loans approximating $900 million, in addition to sizable contingent liabili- ties for private losses under Export-Import Bank and Specific Risk Investment Guaranty programs. Total losses would, of course, be smaller than $2.4 billion if nationalization were nct total, some compensation were provided, or some loan repayments were permitted. 12. Even if all US properties were nationalized without compensation and all loans defaulted, private sector losses would be considerably smaller than the $1.5 billion stake. Because some short-term assets * Expropriation and inconvertibility coverages overlap to the extent that an investor invokes his guaranty against inconvertibility to cover blocked capital depreciation outflows. In such a case, the potential expropriation coverage is reduced. Con- versely, in the event of expropriation, an investor's inconvertibility coverage would serve only a limited purpose. 7 - CONFIDENTIAL Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/02/28: CIA-RDP85T00875R001600030141-2 eclassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/02/28: CIA-RDP85T00875R001600030141-2 CONFIDENTIAL will be recovered before Allende could take action and because long-term assets totaling $350 million are currently protected by US government guaranties, the net private loss at most would be about $1 ,bil- lion. Depending upon the timing of nationalization and the decision regarding Anaconda's eligibility for guaranty coverage, the US government might have to cover as much as an additional $300 million to $350 million in private losses. Thus, including renunciation of US government loans, the US govern- ment's loss would total between $1.25 billion and $1.6 billion. Should US investor remittances be blocked, the government also is committed to make good on as much as $700 million in inconvertible escudos, which would add an indeterminable amount to its potential bill.
