The number of CFIUS notices filed is growing, more cases are extending into an investigation phase, and instances of pulling and refiling CFIUS notices are increasing.

On November 22, 2019, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) published the public version of its Annual Report to Congress for CY 2016 and CY 2017 (Report). CFIUS did not publish a report in 2018, which explains why this year’s report includes two calendar years. The Report provides aggregated statistical data and other information about the notices submitted to CFIUS in 2016 and 2017, in connection with national security reviews of foreign investment in the United States.
