Today’s historically huge earthquake in Chile and, now, reports of tsunami waves measured in centimeters – in Hawaii, Australia and elsewhere in the Pacific – are fascinating scientific phenomena. What’s also remarkable, from a humanitarian and macroeconomic standpoint, is that Chile’s death toll has been so limited – it now stands at around 214. It’s a reminder of how robust Chile’s economy and infrastructure are. It’s easy to forget about the likes of Chile (smaller, thriving emerging economies) when all the EM-investing chit-chat is about Brazil, China, India and (decreasingly, for Putin-esque reasons) Russia.
