Chile New Car, Light Truck Sales Nearly Double On-Year Thru Oct
godt eksempel på boomet i latinmerika, primært i brazilien, argentina og chile, men også andre steder
chile er et lille marked med en befolkning på kun ca 15 mio, men har da alligevel en betydning i det store billede fordi det er en region med ca 300 mio mennesker, der boomer
og et eksempel på at alle de pessimister, der spår aktiekrak og at det hele går ad helvede til pga gæld og anden snak, helt overser hvor meget det rent faktisk boomer i verden

During the same period in 2009, sales totaled 132,718 units.
With Chile quickly recovering from last year's recession--its first in a decade--and a devastating February earthquake, by the end of August the country had surpassed the total number of units sold in 2009 with 173,514.
"With these numbers, we'll start to see the stock of brand [names] get back to normal levels, and the figures also confirm the market's growth, which we've seen since April this year," Anac General-Secretary Gustavo Castellanos said.
For the month of October, sales of new automobiles and light trucks surged 67% to 30,061 units from the comparative year-ago period, the automotive association said.
Anac sees sales growing to 280,000 units in 2010 and to 320,000 units in 2011. It previously expected sales of 260,000 units for the year, compared with sales of 172,044 for 2009, but increased its outlook on Chile's fast-paced recovery and robust domestic demand.
Chile's gross domestic product grew a slight 1.6% on the year in the first quarter, hurt by the devastating 8.8-magnitude February earthquake. GDP recovered to 6.6% and 7% growth in the second and third quarters, respectively, on reconstruction efforts and increased investments.
