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.
On 20 August 2025 the UK government, acting under the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, designated three individuals and five entities — OJSC Capital Bank of Central Asia, Grinex LLC, CJSC Tengricoin, Old Vector LLC (all Kyrgyzstan-based) and Altair Holding SA (Luxembourg-based) — for helping Russia evade Western financial sanctions via opaque Kyrgyz banking channels and cryptocurrency rails. The designations target the A7A5 rouble-backed stablecoin network, which the FCDO says moved USD 9.3bn in transactions over four months, and the Grinex/Meer crypto exchanges used to convert and route the proceeds; designated parties face UK asset freezes and trust-services prohibitions.
On 14 August 2025 OFAC re-designated the cryptocurrency exchange Garantex Europe OU under its cyber authority (E.O. 13694, as amended) for processing over USD 100 million in transactions tied to ransomware and darknet-market actors since 2019, and designated its successor exchange Grinex — created by former Garantex staff to move customer deposits and continue operations after a March 2025 US Secret Service-led takedown of Garantex's infrastructure. OFAC also designated three Garantex executives, the A7A5 ruble-backed stablecoin issuer Old Vector (Kyrgyzstan), and Russian settlement-platform firm A7 and its subsidiaries A71 and A7 Agent — entities linked to sanctioned Moldovan oligarch Ilan Shor and sanctioned Promsvyazbank — for supplying the A7A5 token used to compensate Garantex customers and route funds through Grinex.
