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.
Between 22 and 28 February 2022 — coinciding with Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine — OFAC issued a Financial Services Sectoral Determination and four directives under Executive Order 14024 of April 15, 2021. Together they authorise designation of any person operating in Russia's financial sector, prohibit US persons from trading Russian sovereign debt, bar US banks from maintaining correspondent accounts for designated Russian financial institutions (Sberbank, Alfa-Bank and others), prohibit new investment in certain Russia-related entities, and block all transactions involving the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, the National Wealth Fund, and the Ministry of Finance — effectively freezing approximately USD 640 billion in Russian sovereign reserves held in Western financial systems. The package was formally published in the Federal Register on 31 May 2022.
The International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA, Title II of Pub. L. 95-223, 91 Stat. 1626, codified at 50 U.S.C. §§ 1701–1708) was signed by President Carter on 28 December 1977 and grants the President sweeping authority to declare a national emergency with respect to "any unusual and extraordinary threat, which has its source in whole or substantial part outside the United States, to the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States" — and then to investigate, regulate, direct, compel, nullify, void, prevent, or prohibit any transaction in, or involving, foreign exchange, banking transfers, importing, exporting, or dealings in property by persons subject to US jurisdiction. IEEPA is the parent enabling statute for every OFAC-administered autonomous sanctions program (Russia, Iran, DPRK, Venezuela, Cuba, Syria, Belarus, Myanmar, cyber, Global Magnitsky, Hong Kong, ICC, and others) as well as the legal basis for the entire Trump-era IEEPA-tariff regime (EO 14193–14195 fentanyl tariffs, Canada/Mexico/China; EO 14257 reciprocal-tariff framework; EO 14323 Brazil; EO 14380 Cuba; EO 14382 Iran; and the US-India interim tariff agreement). Between 1977 and 2025 Presidents invoked IEEPA in 77 national-emergency declarations; of these, 7+ directly parent IPTM-filed implementing actions, with ~dozens of OFAC SDN designation actions tracing their legal root to this statute.
