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.
On 9 May 2026 Mozambique's Assembleia da República approved, by consensus of all four parliamentary caucuses under an urgency procedure submitted by President Daniel Chapo, a standalone Lei de Conteúdo Local establishing the legislative-level local-content framework for the country's petroleum and natural gas megaprojects. The law was promulgated on 5 June 2026. It defines goods and services as qualifying local content when they meet at least one of three thresholds: ≥80% national production factors, ≥40% Mozambican company ownership, or a predominantly Mozambican payroll. It mandates integration of national labour, preference for Mozambican subcontractors and goods-and-services suppliers, and creates a dedicated Local Content Agency (Agência de Conteúdo Local) to oversee compliance and enforce penalties. Primary application: TotalEnergies Area 1 (Mozambique LNG) and ExxonMobil/Eni Area 4 (Rovuma LNG / Coral South).
Mozambique's Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy (MIREME) published a comprehensive revision of the 2014 Petroleum Law (Lei n.º 21/2014) in June 2025, tabled before the Assembleia da República for debate on 7 May 2026. The revision mandates a minimum 25% domestic-market quota for all oil, gas, and LNG produced under concessions (exclusively for national consumption), requires 100% of condensate output to be allocated domestically, and introduces idle-block penalty charges for concessionaires that fail to develop assigned blocks within prescribed periods. It also elevates the Instituto Nacional de Petróleo (INP) to full Regulatory Authority status with inspection and sanctioning powers, and establishes a mandatory minimum state Participating Interest with a free-carry obligation through to commercial production.
On 5 July 2024 Mozambique's Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy (MIREME) issued Diploma Ministerial nº 55/2024, the first regulation to operationalise the local-content obligations of petroleum-sector concessionaires that were set in skeleton form by Lei nº 21/2014 (Petroleum Law) and Decreto nº 34/2015 (Regulamento das Operações Petrolíferas). The diploma binds concessionaires across four pillars: Employment Programmes, Training/Education Programmes, Association with Mozambican Persons, and Right of Preference in the Contracting of Goods and Services. Quarterly Employment, Education and Hiring Reports must be filed with the Instituto Nacional do Petróleo (INP). Published in Boletim da República I Série Nº 130 and effective the day of publication.
