All that glitters is not gold. Sometime it's copper.
Chile has seen its dependency on copper surge to 55% of the nation’s exports in the second quarter of 2010 because of booming demand, especially from China and India.
Experts would prefer to see a more diversified export mix for a safer, more stable economy.
Chile's copper production in 1996 was 5.6% of Chile’s GNP, while today it is 16.3%.
