Structured register of government actions in the geoeconomic space — export controls, tariffs, sanctions, FDI screening, subsidies, industrial-policy laws — cross-referenced into the country, minerals, and ETF surface. Charter: docs/IPTM_CHARTER.md.
Severity 1-5 is the qualitative impact rating (1=minor, 5=structural). The bilateral-trade-grounded quant scorer is the next IPTM milestone. RBI (Register Breadth Index) is a complementary structural-breadth indicator from scripts/py/iptm/breadth.py; divergence between RBI and severity is itself informative (high-sev / low-RBI = strategic chokepoint; low-sev / high-RBI = broad but shallow). Every action has at least one primary source URL. Verify-or-don't-file. See also themes, timeline, graph, sankey, map, country exposure, sector exposure, material exposure (+ graph), weekly briefs, portfolio scan, escalation monitor, trans-shipment hubs. Internal triage tools (RSS-poller candidate feed, source-feed health) live under /admin/candidates + /admin/sources. Subscribe via Atom feed (accepts ?country=CN, ?material=lithium, ?issuer=BIS, ?type=export_control, ?etf=SOXX, ?company=NVDA, ?minSeverity=4, ?year=2026, ?q=…) or pull /api/iptm/actions.
The European Investment Fund (EIF), part of the EIB Group, signed guarantee agreements on 12 June 2025 with 11 Spanish finance companies — Andbank (via Actyus Growth Finance), BBVA, CaixaBank, EBN Banco, ICF, Inveready, Kutxabank, MicroBank, Santander, Tresmares and Unicaja (via Seneca Direct Lending) — to mobilise EUR 2.5 billion in new financing for Spanish SMEs and mid-caps. The guarantees are funded through Spain's Regional Resilience Fund under the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (NextGenerationEU), combined with EIF own funds, and were announced at a Madrid event with Spain's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Enterprise. More than 6,000 companies are expected to benefit, targeting investment in research, development and innovation, energy efficiency, the social economy and digitalisation. Global Trade Alert separately logs the transaction as a "red"-flagged state-linked lending-support intervention.
The UK's state-owned National Wealth Fund (NWF) and UK Export Finance (UKEF), both wholly government-owned, jointly provided financial guarantees covering £272 million each (80% coverage of a £340 million loan facility) to unlock £680 million in commercial-bank financing for AESC's second battery gigafactory ("Plant 2") in Sunderland. The UK's Automotive Transformation Fund separately contributed £150 million in grants. Total investment mobilised exceeds £1 billion. The plant will add 15.8GWh of annual battery-cell capacity, supporting production of up to 100,000 electric vehicles per year and creating over 1,000 direct jobs in North East England.
