About the Public Debt Office

The Public Debt Office proposes debt strategy to the Finance Ministry and issues and places treasury bonds mainly for the purpose of supporting liquidity and stability in the local financial market. In doing this, it also establishes referential interest rates that facilitate access to the credit market by Chilean business.

To accomplish its objective, the bureau as part of the International Finance Unit, acts in coordination with the Treasury of the Republic, the Budget Office, and with the Central Bank in its role as fiscal agent in the placement and administration of bonds. It also monitors investment of temporary surpluses resulting from the administration of the budget, and proposes capital market reforms to promote the integration of domestic and international financial markets.
