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.
In October 2023 Jordan's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) formally presented a National Mining Sector Strategy 2023-2033, accompanied by an Implementation Roadmap; the Council of Ministers Cabinet-approved and publicly launched the package in April 2024. The strategy sets headline targets of tripling mining-sector GDP from approximately JD 700 million to JD 2.1 billion and doubling mining exports from JD 1.2 billion to JD 3.5 billion by 2033. Policy instruments include a streamlined exploration-to-exploitation licensing regime under the Natural Resources Law (Law No. 12 of 1968 as amended), transparent royalty and community-benefit-sharing provisions, and catalytic foreign and domestic investment in phosphate (via state-majority Jordan Phosphate Mines Company — JPMC, a top-5 global exporter), potash (Arab Potash Company — APC, Dead Sea brine extraction), Wadi Araba copper prospects, REE deposits (MEMR exploration surveys), Central Jordan Uranium Project, and oil-shale resources, positioning Jordan as an upstream critical-minerals and fertilizer-feedstock supplier for India, China, Brazil, EU, and US offtake markets.
On 16 October 2022, Jordan promulgated Investment Environment Law No. 21 of 2022, published in Official Gazette No. 5821, entering into force 90 days later on approximately 14 January 2023. The law replaces the 2014 Investment Law No. 30 and restructures Jordan's entire FDI-promotion architecture: it establishes the Ministry of Investment (MOIN) and the Investment Council as apex bodies, codifies Development Zones, Free Zones, and Special Economic Zones (including the Aqaba Special Economic Zone — gateway for Jordan's phosphate exports via JPMC, the world's second-largest phosphate producer), and enshrines national-treatment guarantees with customs exemptions, zero-rated sales tax incentives, and investor-state dispute-settlement provisions for qualifying protected FDI. The law is the foundational parent statute for Jordan's IMF Extended Fund Facility-conditioned reform agenda and positions the country within the IMEC (India–Middle East–Europe Corridor) trade-investment integration architecture.
