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.
Egypt's Ministry of Investment and Foreign Trade, via GOEIC Export Circular No. 2 of 2026, renewed for a further year (2 January 2026 - 1 January 2027) the restriction limiting exports of lead-acid battery parts and separators (HS 85079010) to companies whose industrial register confirms them as actual producers of lead battery parts, with non-producing exporters and intermediary trading/export offices barred from handling the tariff line. The measure also continues an export duty of EGP 3,000/tonne on the category. It is the latest annual renewal of a policy first introduced as an outright export ban in September 2023 and converted to a fee-plus- producer-only restriction in 2024.
On 12 June 2025, the African Development Bank Group's Board of Directors approved a USD 184.1 million financing package for the Obelisk Solar Project in Qena Governorate, southern Egypt — billed as Africa's largest solar-plus-storage project, combining a 1-gigawatt solar photovoltaic installation with a 200 MWh battery energy storage system. The AfDB package is composed of USD 125.5 million from ordinary resources, USD 20 million from the Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa (SEFA), USD 18.6 million from the Canada-AfDB Climate Fund, and USD 20 million from the Climate Investment Funds' Clean Technology Fund. The Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company will off-take the power under a 25-year agreement. Total project cost exceeds USD 590 million, with commercial operation targeted for Q3 2026.
