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.
Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), Japan's state export-credit and outbound-investment finance institution, signed a loan agreement on 2025-07-25 (announced 2025-09-24) providing GBP 54 million toward a total co-financed package of GBP 90 million (with a private financial institution) for Sumitomo Electric U.K. Power Cables Ltd. (SEUK-CL), the UK subsidiary of Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. (Japan). The facility finances SEUK-CL's manufacturing and sale of submarine transmission cables in Scotland. JBIC framed the loan around the UK's offshore-wind buildout (Scotland targets up to 11 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030) and the UK's position as Europe's largest submarine-cable market, alongside Sumitomo Electric's own Mid-Term Management Plan priority of expanding high-voltage direct-current cable capacity in Europe.
On 29 August 2025 Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) announced a five-part support package for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and suppliers affected by the discontinuation of vehicle production at Nissan's Oppama plant (Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture). The package establishes special consultation windows across Kanagawa financial and business-support institutions, relaxes eligibility for government safety-net loans and loan guarantees for affected firms, extends advisory/matching support to auto-parts suppliers via the "Mikata Project," and grants priority review for affected applicants to two existing subsidy schemes (Monozukuri and New Business Expansion subsidies). No aggregate budget or per-firm monetary cap is disclosed in the primary release.
