Russia Expands Scope of Strategic Investments Law: Key Implications for Investors and Business
10 June 2026
On June 07, 2026, significant amendments to Federal Law No. 57-FZ dated April 29, 2008 “On the Procedure for Foreign Investment in Business Entities of Strategic Importance for National Defense and State Security” (“Strategic Investments Law”) entered into force.
The amendments expand the list of strategic activities and the range of companies that may be qualified as strategic entities for the purposes of the Strategic Investments Law.
As a result, transactions involving Russian companies that were previously outside the scope of foreign investment control may now require prior strategic governmental approval.
