SANTIAGO, July 27 (Xinhua) Chile has fast-tracked more than 20 projects worth upwards of 6 billion U.S. dollars to encourage and promote job creation in the private sector, Minister of Public Works Alfredo Moreno said on Tuesday.
The move aims to counter some of the impact of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on the economy, Moreno said. In Chile, in mid-2020, we lost two million jobs. Of these, we have already recovered approximately one million, but we still have one million to recover, said Moreno, who chairs the Advisory Council for the Recovery of Investment and Employment.
