Foreign Ownership Regulations

Foreign ownership regulations refer to laws that determine the extent to which non-citizens or foreign entities can own assets, businesses, or property within a country. These rules aim to balance attracting foreign investment with protecting national interests, ensuring security, public welfare, or local industry. Regulations vary by country and sector, often involving restrictions, licensing requirements, or ownership limits. Compliance is essential for foreign investors to operate legally, and understanding specific regulations helps avoid legal issues and supports fair market practices.
