Executive summary

Welcome to our ninth Foreign investment monitor. In this edition, we delve into the evolving landscape of foreign direct investment (FDI) and national security regulations worldwide.

Foreign investment is becoming increasingly complex as governments worldwide reassess their national security priorities, reshaping FDI regimes. Investors need to be proactive, staying abreast of evolving regulations to navigate both challenges and opportunities.

Foreign investment is undergoing a rapid transformation, driven by political shifts in key markets such as the US, UK, and France, along with rising national security concerns. From tighter scrutiny by CFIUS in the US to the UK’s expanding National Security and Investment regime, and France's balancing act between market openness and protecting critical sectors, investors are faced with an increasingly complex regulatory landscape. At the same time, evolving FDI regimes in China and the EU are adding further layers of complexity. In this environment, staying agile and understanding these changes is essential for managing risks and seizing new opportunities in a fast-evolving global market.
