Last 12m: 3 actions · prior 12m: 1 · Δ +2 (+200%)

Monthly action counts, last 60 months. Hover a bar for the count. Anchor month = max announce date in the register (2026-10).

Notes: counts are by announcement year/month, not effective date — implementation lag means some 2024-announced actions only bite in 2025-26. An action belonging to two themes contributes to both rows (overlap is intentional).
