Expansion of FDI Screening regime

Country / jurisdiction: Slovak Republic · Year: 2022 · Status: In force · Level: National · Type: Voluntary

Slovak Republic's law on Screening of Foreign Direct Investments was updated in November 2022. The amendment expanded the scope of FDI screening regime established by the Act No. 45 on critical infrastructure. As part of the new regime, all foreign investments may be screened when there is a reasonable presumption that they may threaten or disrupt security or public order. In addition, foreign investments falling under the category of critical investments should be made only after the approval of the Slovak Ministry of Economy.
