How can State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) increase their capital or equity?
SOEs may increase their capital through contributions from their shareholders, for which authorization is required from the Ministry of Finance, and such contributions may come from seasonal cash balances or from funds approved for such purpose through the corresponding Budget Law; in the case of public companies created by law, to increase their equity a law authorizing a transfer to them by the Chilean Treasury is required, a law that may only be proposed by the Executive.
