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.
Guyana's National Assembly passed the Fiscal Enactments (Amendment) Act 2024, which received presidential assent and was published in the Official Gazette on 6 February 2024. The Act amends Section 19 and the First Schedule of the Natural Resource Fund Act 2021, revising the formula governing the annual withdrawal ceiling from the NRF — replacing the prior fixed-tier schedule with a revised sliding scale applicable to the first US$5 billion of deposits paid into the Fund in the immediately preceding fiscal year. The revised withdrawal rules authorised US$1.586 billion in NRF withdrawals for fiscal year 2024, with a subsequent notification published in the Official Gazette on 4 April 2025 authorising US$2.464 billion for fiscal year 2025, reflecting the accelerating Stabroek Block production ramp-up under the ExxonMobil/Hess/CNOOC consortium.
Guyana's National Assembly passed the Petroleum Activities Act, No. 17 of 2023 (PAA), which received presidential assent and was published in the Extraordinary Official Gazette on 16 August 2023, replacing the Petroleum (Exploration and Production) Act 1986 (Chapter 65:10) in its entirety. The PAA establishes a modern upstream regulatory architecture including a 10% gross royalty, a 65% cost-recovery ceiling under new Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs), a 10% corporate income tax on petroleum activities, and an updated licensing, local-content, decommissioning, and environment-compliance framework. Existing agreements — including the 2016 Stabroek Block PSA (ExxonMobil/Hess/CNOOC consortium, 2% royalty, 75% cost-recovery ceiling) — are grandfathered under their original terms; the PAA governs all new licensing rounds and agreements.
Guyana's National Assembly passed Act No. 18 of 2021 on 29 December 2021; it received presidential assent and was published in the Extraordinary Official Gazette on 31 December 2021. The Act establishes mandatory local-content obligations for all operators, contractors, and subcontractors engaged in petroleum operations in Guyana, defining a "Guyanese company" (≥51% Guyanese-owned, ≥75% Guyanese senior management, ≥90% other staff) and reserving 40 First Schedule categories of goods and services exclusively for Guyanese nationals and companies. All entities in the petroleum value chain must register with the Local Content Secretariat and submit annual local-content plans and compliance reports to the Minister of Natural Resources.
