Slovakia on Inward/ Foreign Investment

The first comprehensive Slovak foreign direct investment (FDI) screening regime entered into force on 1 March 2023. Now that the first year of this new FDI regime is behind us, below we summarise...

Screening under the FDI Act concerns foreign investments made by foreign investors as defined in the FDI Act.

Act No. 497/2022 Coll. on Screening of Foreign Direct Investments (the "FDI Act"), published on 23 December 2022, will have a significant impact on foreign investments in Slovakia, at least in terms of the time needed to complete transactions.
