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 18 September 2025 Brazil's federal government published Medida Provisória (Provisional Measure) 1318/2025, creating REDATA — the Special Taxation Regime for Datacenter Services — alongside a parallel IT-export regime (REPES). REDATA zeroes federal taxes on servers, storage, networking, cooling and other datacenter capital equipment for qualifying operators from 1 January 2026, conditioned on 100% renewable/zero-carbon energy sourcing, a 2% of investment R&D-in-Brazil commitment, and preferential use of Brazilian- manufactured components. The Finance Ministry projects R$5.2 billion in forgone-tax incentives in 2026 alone, with potential to unlock up to R$2 trillion in private datacenter investment over ten years. REDATA is framed as implementing the National Datacenter Policy (PNDC) under the Nova Indústria Brasil industrial-policy umbrella.
On 22 August 2025 Brazil's national development bank BNDES detailed the credit and guarantee component of the "Plano Brasil Soberano," the federal government's response to the US 40% IEEPA tariff on Brazilian goods (Executive Order 14323). BNDES opened roughly BRL 40 billion (~USD 7.3bn) in subsidised working-capital and investment credit lines — BRL 30bn drawn from the Export Guarantee Fund (FGE) and BRL 10bn from the bank's own resources — capped at BRL 150 million per company, plus a further ~BRL 12bn across a complementary emergency line and PEAC FGI Solidário credit-guarantee cover, taking the package to roughly BRL 72 billion (~USD 13.2bn). Eligibility is prioritised for exporters that lost 5% or more of gross revenue to the US tariffs, with more favourable terms for those above a 20% exposure threshold. Congress subsequently passed Medida Provisória 1.310/2025 (published 1-2 September 2025), opening a BRL 30 billion extraordinary budget credit to fund the package; BNDES began accepting applications under the credit lines on 18 September 2025.
