Mapping M&A screening activity worldwide
DealSCREEN Index provides key statistics on merger control and national security and foreign direct investment screening (FDI) in 35 jurisdictions, and on the EU’s Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR) regime.
Activity levels by country
Each country is assigned a relative activity score, which is calculated based on the number of merger control decisions in the latest 12‑month period for which data is available, and whether it has an FDI screening regime in place. The activity score is reflected through a colour scale, ranging from least active to most active. This is shown for each country on the map.
Key statistics by country
Selecting a region enables access to individual countries for further information on merger control and FDI enforcement outcomes. This includes:
- the number of decisions (grouped into ranges)
- the percentage of decisions where the deal was cleared without remedies
- the percentage of decisions where the deal was cleared subject to remedies
- the percentage of decisions where the deal was prohibited
The FDI information indicates whether a screening regime is in place.
