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 Egyptian Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, approved an updated National Automotive Industry Strategy (2024–2030) in May 2025 with effect from July 2025. The strategy operationalises the framework set up by Law No. 162 of 2022 (Supreme Council for the Automotive Industry + Eco-Friendly Automotive Industry Financing Fund) and the Automotive Industry Development Programme (AIDP), targeting annual production of 400,000–500,000 vehicles by 2030 (vs ~30,000–50,000 in 2023–24) with 25% earmarked for export, generating ~USD 4 billion/year of revenue. It raises the mandatory local-content threshold from ~45% toward ≥60% by 2030 — a quasi-local-content-requirement enforced via tiered AIDP cash incentives — and is funded by an EGP 1.5 billion (~USD 30 million) FY2024/25 state-budget allocation. It is the first concrete sectoral industrial-policy framework targeting Chinese (Geely, Chery, BYD) and Japanese (Sumitomo, Nissan) OEM investment into Egypt as a Mediterranean / Africa export hub.
On 23 February 2024 Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly announced at a press conference in the New Administrative Capital that Egypt and an ADQ-led consortium (Abu Dhabi Developmental Holding Company PJSC, with Modon Properties and Talaat Moustafa Group as development partners) had signed a framework agreement granting ADQ the development rights to Ras El-Hekma — a 170.8 million square-metre Mediterranean coastal site approximately 350 km northwest of Cairo. The USD 35bn package comprises USD 24bn in fresh foreign-currency cash for the development rights (paid in two tranches: USD 15bn within one week, USD 20bn within two months) plus USD 11bn converted from existing UAE deposits at the Central Bank of Egypt into prime-project equity stakes across Egypt. Egypt retains a 35% sovereign stake in the master-developer ("Ras Al Hekma Company"). The deal is the largest single foreign direct investment in Egypt's history; it materially eased Egypt's worst FX crisis in decades and underpinned the IMF's March 2024 USD 8bn Extended Fund Facility top-up and the EUR 7.4bn EU funding package.
Law No. 162 of 2022, approved by the Egyptian House of Representatives on 18 October 2022 and ratified by President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi at the end of October 2022, establishes (i) the Supreme Council for the Automotive Industry — chaired by the Prime Minister with Ministers of Industry (Deputy Chair), Planning, Finance, Transport, and State for Military Production, plus four nominated experts — as the inter-ministerial policy body for localising vehicle manufacturing, and (ii) the Environment-Friendly Automotive Industry Financing Fund as a dedicated public-finance vehicle for EV/PHEV/CNG production support. The Supreme Council held its first meeting under PM Mostafa Madbouly on 15 February 2023. The framework was operationalised via the National Automotive Industry Development Programme (AIDP), launched at IATF 2023 (Cairo, 9–15 November 2023). AIDP grants tiered incentives keyed to local value-add, annual production volume, new investment value, and emissions performance, targeting ~400,000 vehicles/year by 2030 with a step-up of mandatory local content from ~45% to 60% by 2030. This is the first Egypt and first North-African automotive industrial-policy action in the IPTM register.
