SUMMARY:New restrictions for foreign investments in mining
DESCRIPTION:After an era of globalisation\, many countries are turning to
 wards securing national supply and looking more critically at dependenci
 es and potential security threats relating to foreign investment in and 
 control of strategic minerals. With the recent adoption of the Inflation
  Reduction Act in the United States\, which aims to increase US domestic
  manufacturing capacity and encourage procurement of supplies of critica
 l minerals domestically and from free-trade partners\, along with the re
 cently announced Critical Minerals Strategy in Canada\, including the Ca
 nadian government’s recent policy restricting foreign state-owned enterp
 rise investments in the critical minerals sector and supply chains\, and
  similar strategies and policies in other nations\, investors face unpre
 cedented regulatory\, national security and geopolitical complexity in s
 eeking to invest in\, and develop\, critical minerals around the world. 
 New foreign investment and national security restrictions represent a gl
 obal shift on who can invest and where\, with potential implications for
  which countries will be poised to take greater advantage of the future 
 green economy. This panel will discuss the impact globally of these rece
 nt developments and how they will shape mineral exploration and exploita
 tion in the years to come.
