FIRRMA does not prohibit investments from any country, and investments from all foreign persons remain subject to CFIUS jurisdiction over transactions that could result in foreign control of a U.S. business. As required by FIRRMA, however, the regulations limit the application of CFIUS’s jurisdiction over non-controlling “covered investments” and certain real estate transactions by certain foreign persons, defined as “excepted investors,” from certain “excepted foreign states.” Any such eligible investor and foreign state must meet specific criteria to qualify for this status.
