This Paper focuses on India, Japan, and Singapore – three pivotal Indo-Pacific economies recalibrating investment controls amid intensified geo-economic pressures while deepening links with European standards through trade, technology, and financial cross‑border flows. It situates each jurisdiction’s approach within a context shaped by heightened security concerns, supply-chain rewiring, and the mainstreaming of investment screening as a policy instrument. It offers a comparative outlook and practical takeaways for policymakers, investors, and target companies operating across these regimes.
