Over the last several decades, countries have recognized that the bountiful opportunities brought by Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) may come with risks. While each country may perceive these risks in their own way and with their distinct security concerns in mind, the mechanism most often used to ensure that FDI benefits and risks are properly managed is FDI screening, through which countries can attract quality FDI and protect their national interests simultaneously.

The FDI Screening Primer aims to raise awareness of key elements of an effective investment screening regime, particularly in strategic sectors of national security importance. The Primer providing neutral, high-quality, and useful information and good practices for FDI screening, ultimately for the benefit of maximizing FDI benefits while minimizing risks. The Primer offers FDI stakeholders a useful toolbox for deepening understanding of FDI screening and implementation practices. The launch event will feature speakers from EXBS, an overview of the key elements of the Primer by its author, Dr. Andrea Viski, and a discussion and Q&A session.
