TerraLex Guide to Foreign Direct Investment - NEW

The TerraLex Cross-Border Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Guide provides a practical overview of FDI screening and investment control regimes across key jurisdictions worldwide, helping TerraLex members and clients assess regulatory risks in cross-border transactions. This concise guide covers the legal framework for FDI review, filing triggers, substantive tests, approval procedures, timelines, filing requirements, penalties for non-compliance, confidentiality considerations, and available appeal rights. Spanning jurisdictions across Africa and the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and North America, it is a valuable resource for navigating foreign investment rules and understanding when government approval may affect deal timing, structure, and execution.
