Practice question
A foreign private investor seeks exactly 50% of an entity operating critical infrastructure after classification. Assume no aggregate foreign-ownership or other restriction is at issue. Does Section 25's more-than-50% reciprocity condition arise solely from this holding?
- Yes, because exactly 50% means more than 50%.
- Yes, because any foreign shareholding triggers the stated threshold.
- Yes, because Section 25 prohibits every foreign investment.
- No, and the holding is exempt from every other law.
- No. Exactly 50% does not exceed the specified threshold.
