La TribuneLO·FR·about 8 hours ago
Belgium's Committee on Foreign Investment (CFI) reviewed 191 foreign direct investment notifications between July 2025 and June 2026, approving 162 in the first phase and keeping 27 under review. No investments were rejected, indicating a permissive screening stance despite heightened national security scrutiny across Europe. The report signals continued openness to foreign capital, though the 27 pending cases could yield stricter outcomes.
