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 Gecex/Camex approved Resolução Gecex Nº 826 on 4 December 2025 (published in the Diário Oficial da União 5 December 2025, in force 12 December 2025), amending the "Lista de Autopeças Não Produzidas" (Non-Produced Auto Parts List) created by Resolução Gecex Nº 284/2021. The resolution removes 17 products across 15 NCM lines from the exemption list — reverting those lines to Brazil's standard automotive-parts import duty on the premise that domestic production now covers them — while adding 24 products across 17 NCM lines to the preferential ~2% duty regime, with the additions carrying a sunset of 30 November 2027. This is the same rolling tariff-engineering instrument amended again three weeks later by Resolução Gecex Nº 842 (23 December 2025).
Brazil's national development bank BNDES signed BRL 2.3 billion (~USD 425 million) in credit-line financing with Volkswagen do Brasil on 31 October 2025 at a ceremony at the Anchieta plant (São Bernardo do Campo, SP). The package draws on two BNDES lines: BNDES Mais Inovação, financing development of Volkswagen's hybrid (mild-hybrid, full-hybrid, plug-in-hybrid) vehicle portfolio and ADAS/connectivity engineering projects; and Exim Pré-Embarque, a pre-shipment export-finance line to expand Volkswagen's exports. Volkswagen is Brazil's largest automotive exporter (4.4 million units shipped since 1970 across 147 markets), with exports up 43% year-on-year in Jan-Sep 2025.
