The Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) introduced the Significant Investments Review Bill (the Bill) to parliament on 6 November 2023. The Bill aims to protect the national interests of Singapore by regulating significant investment in, and control of, critical entities. Entities that are considered critical to Singapore’s national security will be designated under the regime and will be regulated accordingly. The Bill also provides scope for the Minister of Trade and Industry to review transactions involving entities that have acted against Singapore’s national interests, even if such entities are not designated under the Bill. Therefore, the scope of the proposed new legislation is not finite.
