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 lowered its price cap on Russian-origin crude oil from USD 60 to USD 47.60 per barrel, effective for contracts concluded on or after 12 September 2025, aligning with the EU's July 2025 cut under its 18th sanctions package. The measure bars Japanese entities from importing, or providing shipping, insurance, financing or other services for, Russian crude priced above the new cap. In the same package Japan added 47 Russian entities and 9 individuals, 6 Crimea/Donbas-linked persons and entities, and 3 third-country entities to its asset-freeze list (transactions now require Ministry of Finance approval), and imposed export prohibitions on 2 Russian entities and 9 entities in third countries. Japan's own Russian crude imports are minimal (~0.1% of total crude imports, Jan-Jul 2025), so the measure is primarily a coalition-alignment and shipping/insurance-chokepoint action rather than a material change to Japan's own energy sourcing.
On 1 March 2022 Japan's Foreign Minister announced a second package of sanctions over Russia's military action in Ukraine. It suspended visas for and froze assets of designated Russia-related individuals and entities, froze the assets of three Russian banks (VEB.RF, Promsvyazbank, Bank Rossiya), and imposed export restrictions on Russian military-related entities and on controlled items on internationally agreed lists and other dual-use goods such as semiconductors. Relevant ministries were to proceed with the domestic implementing procedures.
On 24 February 2022 Japan's Foreign Minister announced sanctions following Russia's recognition of the "Donetsk People's Republic" and "Luhansk People's Republic". Japan suspended visa issuance to and froze assets in Japan of individuals of the two "Republics", prohibited imports from and exports to the two regions, and prohibited the issuance of and transactions in new Russian sovereign debt in primary and secondary markets. The relevant ministries were to proceed with the domestic procedures needed to implement them.
