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.
Brazil's Foreign Trade Chamber Executive Committee (GECEX/CAMEX) published Resolução nº 892 on 7 May 2026 (DOU 8 May 2026), modifying the definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of metallic magnesium in crude forms (magnésio metálico em formas brutas, NCM 8104.11.00 and 8104.19.00) originating in China — originally imposed by Resolução GECEX nº 253 of 24 September 2021. The modification converts the duty collection mechanism to a specific tariff fixed in US dollars per kilogram (alíquota específica fixada em dólares estadunidenses por quilograma), based on Parecer SEI nº 258/2026/MDIC, and was deliberated at GECEX's 236th Ordinary Meeting on 30 April 2026. China accounts for approximately 85% of global primary magnesium production; magnesium is designated a critical material under both CRMA Annex I and the USGS Critical Minerals List, serving as an essential input to aluminium alloys for automotive and aerospace lightweighting and to steel desulphurisation. This resolution is a NEW action on the IPTM register — the original 2021 AD measure (GECEX nº 253) was not previously filed — capturing the current in-force duty alteration as the operative instrument.
Brazil's national development bank BNDES approved BRL 200 million (~USD 37.6 million) in financing for Eve Air Mobility — the Embraer subsidiary developing an electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft — split between BRL 160 million from the Fundo Clima (Climate Fund, Green Industry modality) and BRL 40 million under the FINEM Inovação (Incentivised Line A) facility. The funds finance integration of the aircraft's electric propulsion system and prepare the vehicle for the flight-test campaign required to obtain type certification from Brazil's civil aviation authority ANAC. Since 2022, BNDES has extended more than BRL 1.2 billion in cumulative financing to Eve's eVTOL programme, including support for its Taubaté (SP) production facility.
On 14 August 2025, BNDESPAR — the equity-investment arm of Brazil's national development bank BNDES — approved its second direct variable-income investment under its green-economy/innovation strategy: USD 74.9 million (BRL 405.3 million) in Eve Air Mobility, the Embraer subsidiary developing an eVTOL ("flying car") to be manufactured in Taubaté, São Paulo. The investment is structured as a subscription of BDRs (Brazilian depositary receipts backed by Eve's US-listed ordinary shares) in a BNDESPAR-led private offering; Eve plans to list the BDRs on B3 for local investors, with daily liquidity guaranteed by a market maker. Proceeds strengthen Eve's capital structure and fund R&D for its business plan ahead of ANAC type-certification and commercial eVTOL production.
Brazil's federal innovation-financing agency FINEP (Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos) signed an Economic Grant Agreement with EVE Soluções de Mobilidade Aérea Urbana Ltda. ("Eve Brazil"), the Embraer subsidiary developing an electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, agreeing to grant up to BRL 90,000,000.00 (~USD 15.96 million) in non-repayable economic subsidy funding for a project to build out Brazil's sustainable air-mobility ecosystem around eVTOL technology. Eve Brazil must contribute a minimum of BRL 100,760,797.26 (~USD 17.87 million) of its own resources, and the combined ~BRL 190.8 million project must use the funds within 36 months of signing or forfeit unused installments.
