EU Tightens Foreign Investment Screening
The European Union has adopted a new regulation establishing a framework for screening foreign direct investments
The European Union has tightened foreign investment screening as the European Parliament and the Council adopted a new regulation, as reported by Concurrences, establishing a screening framework for foreign direct investments in the Union. This move is part of a broader effort to strengthen the EU's economic defenses, amid concerns over foreign interference, as noted in a recent mlex.com article discussing infringement procedures against France, Latvia, and Spain. The EU's actions on foreign investment screening come as the European Central Bank considers updates to its collateral framework, including the incorporation of climate factors, and weighs a potential rate hike in response to euro area inflation, as discussed in recent articles on the ECB's rate hike considerations and the EU's arguments on bank woes.
