Investment (FDI) Screening Act. Following a narrow approach, only investments by foreign state-controlled investors shall be reviewed.<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>The new FDI Regime in a Nutshell<\/strong><\/p><p>During the parliamentary debate that stretched over years, it was long unclear whether an investment screening regime shall be introduced at all. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parlament.ch\/en\/organe\/national-council\">Swiss National Counci<\/a>l initially opted for a much broader framework, also concerning private investors. Meanwhile, the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.parlament.ch\/en\/organe\/council-of-states\"> Swiss Council of States<\/a> was more critical to any such act, voting for a leaner approach that only targets foreign state-controlled investors.<\/p><p>On 2 December 2025, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parlament.ch\/en\/organe\/national-council\">Swiss National Council<\/a> followed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parlament.ch\/en\/organe\/council-of-states\">Swiss Council of States<\/a>. Therefore, the FDI screening shall be limited to investments by foreign state-controlled investors and only investments in critical sectors of the Swiss economy such as energy supply, water, military equipment, healthcare infrastructure or transport infrastructure shall be reviewed.<\/p><p><strong>Our Thoughts<\/strong><\/p><p>In our opinion, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parlament.ch\/en\">Swiss Parliamen<\/a>t has put together a balanced regime: With the agreed narrow approach, only few transactions should fall under the new screening regime. Hence, the regulatory burden is kept relatively small, keeping the Swiss market open for cross-border investments and business. For Switzerland&#8217;s competitiveness, this seems more important than ever. At the same time, Switzerland will no longer be the &#171;odd one out&#187; without any regime at all, closing a potential regulatory gap.<\/p><p>For state-controlled investors operating in strategic sectors, the new regulation will place increased attention on their investments. Time will tell whether the new regime will be effective or whether a broader scope is warranted.<\/p><p>You can find the official communication from the Swiss Parliament <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parlament.ch\/de\/services\/news\/Seiten\/2025\/20251202133500149194158159026_bsd114.aspx\">here<\/a> (only in German, French and Italian).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c0b3fb0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c0b3fb0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>CORE Attorneys is a boutique law firm in Switzerland, focusing on <a href=\"https:\/\/core-attorneys.com\/en\/expertise\/wettbewerbsrecht\/\">competition\/antitrust law<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/core-attorneys.com\/en\/expertise\/regulierung\/\">regulatory<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/core-attorneys.com\/en\/expertise\/vertriebsrecht\/\">distribution law<\/a> matters.
