Episode 4: Global Foreign Investment Podcast Series
In the past decade, the number of sectors subject to foreign investment control in France has consistently increased, along with the severity of sanctions. This has led to a steady growth of cases reviewed by the Ministry for the Economy, with a new record set in 2021.
In the fourth podcast in our series with global FI regulators, Pierre Guillot, partner at our Energies and Infrastructures Group in Paris, welcomes Marie-Anne Lavergne, Head of the Office in charge of Foreign Investments control at the French Treasury Department of the Ministry in charge of the Economy and Clémence Largé, Deputy to the Head of Office, to discuss recent changes, procedural questions and perspectives.
Topics covered include:
- Recent developments of the foreign investment regulation
- Interaction with the EU screening mechanism
- Enforcement rules for foreign investment control
- Perspectives on future changes, including possible guidelines
