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 National Reconstruction Fund Corporation (NRFC), Australia's AUD 15 billion sovereign industrial-financing vehicle, took a AUD 30.7 million (USD 21.5 million) equity stake in Applied Electric Vehicles (AEV), a Melbourne-based autonomous electric vehicle manufacturer, announced 28 January 2026. The investment is NRFC's first under its Transport priority area and forms more than half of AEV's USD 40 million (~AUD 58 million) Series B round, alongside Barrenjoey, Japan Post Capital, and existing backers Suzuki Motor Corporation and St Baker. Funds will manufacture, commercialise, and scale AEV's "Blanc Robot" autonomous electric vehicle fleet for mining dust-suppression and inter-factory logistics, supporting AEV's existing 113-person workforce and funding up to 25 new skilled roles in Melbourne.
Australia's government-owned Clean Energy Finance Corporation announced on 9 December 2025 an AUD 70 million (approx. USD 46 million) financing package with Volvo Financial Services and Volvo Group Australia to accelerate electrification of Australia's trucking fleet. The package funds an interest-rate discount of up to 0.5 percentage points for eligible customers leasing medium- and heavy-duty battery-electric trucks (HD BEVs) and installing EV charging infrastructure, plus a residual-value support mechanism to reduce operating-lease costs and protect future HD BEV resale values. Volvo Group Australia has committed to manufacture electric trucks at its Wacol, Queensland facility (in production since 1972, 80,000+ trucks built) from 2026. Global Trade Alert separately logs the transaction as a "red"-flagged local-value-added and lending-support intervention (state act 95651).
