FDI screening was for a long time a blank spot on the regulatory landscape for most countries in Central Eastern Europe (CEE). Member States across CEE have – also due to COVID-19 – recently tightened or enacted new measures or initiated legislative processes to do so. Going forward, many foreign investments in critical sectors, in particular in the technology sector, will have to undergo a vetting process.
FDI screening was for a long time a blank spot on the regulatory landscape for most countries in Central Eastern Europe (CEE). Member States across CEE have – also due to COVID-19 – recently tightened or enacted new measures or initiated legislative processes to do so. Going forward, many foreign investments in critical sectors, in particular in the technology sector, will have to undergo a vetting process.
To help navigate through the FDI regulations in CEE, we have put together an online booklet with an up-to-date overview of the currently existing FDI regimes in CEE. Following the trend to tighten or set up FDI screening mechanisms, it will also keep pace with ongoing developments in jurisdictions where new rules are in the pipeline (Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Poland and Romania) and therefore be continuously updated.
