The tightening of foreign control regimes has been trending in many countries for the past few years. In addition to foreign and economic policy shifting towards protectionism, the COVID-19 pandemic has become another reason for some jurisdictions to implement stricter rules on foreign investment, e.g. in the areas of health care and medical technology. For many foreign investment control regimes, the boundaries of politics and security-driven investment control have become blurry. Other jurisdictions are only looking to implement an investment control scheme or are even taking the opposite approach, relaxing their rules to attract more inbound investment.
The speakers will discuss most recent and upcoming changes in their jurisdictions’ regulatory landscapes, prominent investment control cases and the impact on practices for out- and inbound M&A transactions.
