Significant Investment and Screening of Foreign Investment in Slovakia

One of the current key priorities is the definition of rules for a more sustainable and fair globalization, where investments and trade play an important role. The current economic environment faces challenges that involve the need to promote social justice and environmental sustainability. The economic reality in Slovakia entails appropriate measures taken, including a stable macroeconomic policy, a non-discriminatory approach to commercial companies and prudent supervision of the investment activities of investors. A part of these measures taken in Slovakia include granting investors the status of "significant investment in the public interest" and the implementation of the regulation of the European Union on the screening of foreign direct investment into the Union. The benefit of this scientific study both for the theory and practice is the analysis of EU legal acts that have an impact on the development of investment relations and on the formation of a common investment policy within the European economic area.
