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.
Pakistan's Federal Board of Revenue notified SRO 1898(I)/2025 on 1 October 2025, imposing a 40% regulatory duty (RD) on the commercial import of used vehicles under PCT headings 8702, 8703, 8704 and 8711, limited to vehicles less than five years old. The measure operationalises a Ministry of Commerce scheme (SRO 1895(I)/2025, 30 September 2025) that for the first time authorises a commercial (dealer-run) import channel for used vehicles, which had previously been restricted to the non-commercial personal-baggage/gift/transfer-of-residence schemes. The Economic Coordination Committee approved the scheme on 18 September 2025 and it was ratified by the federal cabinet; imports also remain subject to Engineering Development Board environmental, safety and quality certification. The Tariff Policy Board's published trajectory reduces the RD by 10 percentage points per year after 30 June 2026, reaching 0% by FY2029-30.
Pakistan's Ministry of Industries and Production, through the Engineering Development Board, launched the National Electric Vehicle (NEV) Policy 2025-2030 on 19 June 2025. The policy targets 30% of all new vehicles sold in Pakistan to be electric by 2030 and allocates an initial subsidy of PKR 9 billion for FY2025-26 to facilitate 116,053 electric two-wheelers and 3,171 electric three-wheelers (with 25% of the subsidy reserved for women applicants), alongside a build-out of 40 EV charging stations on motorways at 105 km average spacing. The policy is Pakistan's first horizontal EV industrial-policy framework, projected by government to save 2.07 billion litres of fuel annually and roughly USD 1 billion in foreign-exchange outflows on petroleum imports.
