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.
Korea's National Assembly passed amendments to Chapter V of the Act on the Adjustment of International Taxes (AITA) on 23 December 2022; promulgated 31 December 2022. The amendment codifies the OECD/G20 Pillar Two GloBE (Global Anti-Base Erosion) rules — specifically the Income Inclusion Rule (IIR) — directly within Korea's existing international-tax statute (Articles 60–83), making Korea the first jurisdiction globally to enact binding primary legislation implementing Pillar Two. The IIR applies to Korean members of MNE groups with consolidated revenue ≥ EUR 750 million for fiscal years beginning on or after 1 January 2024; the Undertaxed Profits Rule (UTPR) was subsequently delayed by the 2024 tax reform bill to fiscal years beginning on or after 1 January 2025. Korea did not initially adopt a Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (QDMTT); proposals to add one have been debated in subsequent amendment cycles. The law directly interacts with the K-Chips Act (2023) enhanced investment tax credits: those credits reduce Korean effective tax rates and may trigger Pillar Two top-up exposure unless structured as Qualifying Refundable Tax Credits.
On 6 March 2022, the South Korean government determined that Belarus had materially supported Russia's invasion of Ukraine and announced it would extend the export-control measures already applied to Russia to Belarus as well. Effective 7 March 2022, Korea designated two Belarusian entities (Belarus's Ministry of Defence and a second entity) to its "parties of concern" list, triggering a case-by-case licensing requirement for strategic items under Korea's multilateral export-control regime, and tightened review of non-strategic dual-use items destined for Belarus.
On 28 February 2022, South Korea's government condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine and announced it would strengthen export control review to block strategic items -- microelectronics, telecommunications equipment, sensors, navigation equipment, avionics, marine equipment, and aircraft components -- from reaching Russia. The statement also committed Korea to joining the exclusion of designated Russian banks from the SWIFT international payments system, with implementation details to follow through interagency consultation, alongside plans to release strategic petroleum reserves and divert LNG cargoes to Europe.
