Since 2020 and the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, several governments have amended laws and regulations in the context of sensitive industries (SI). SI refers to two distinct types of investment restrictions: 1) foreign direct investment (FDI) restrictions, often part of national security screenings of incoming foreign capital and 2) sector-specific investment restrictions applicable without regard to nationality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Much of the regulatory response has been directed to tightening FDI reviews by lowering shareholding thresholds as well as expanding the sectors caught by an FDI review. As a result of the COVID-19 changes, more investments are now subject to regulatory scrutiny, accelerating an existing trend of reform in this space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hover over a jurisdiction below to see where regulatory changes in sensitive industries have occurred since March 2020 and recent developments that have led to some extensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
