Abstract

In August 2023, Law No. 21.595—the so-called “Ley de Delitos Económicos” (Chilean Economic Crimes Act)—came into force in Chile and, with it, a comprehensive reform of market abuse crimes under the Chilean Securities Market Law (Law No. 18,045). Although keeping some “local flavor” from the preexisting Chilean regulation on market manipulation and insider trading, the 2023 reform was strongly inspired by the European framework (basically MAD I/II and MAR). From a comparative approach, our contribution will address the main features and practical repercussions of the 2023 reform on market abuse.
