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.
The People's Bank of China announced on 2026-01-15 that it is widening the scope of its Carbon Emission Reduction Support Tool (碳减排支持工具) to cover energy-saving retrofits, green upgrades, and energy green low-carbon transformation projects with direct carbon-reduction effects. The tool operates on a quarterly basis, providing one-year relending funds to financial institutions at below-market rates against qualifying green loans they extend, with total annual operation volume capped at CNY 800 billion (approximately USD 115 billion). PBOC sets each quarter's operation volume based on monetary-policy needs and financial institutions' actual lending to the newly-widened set of supported project categories.
The Chongqing Municipal Government General Office issued Notice 渝府办发〔2025〕59号 on 2025-12-06, promulgating an "Implementation Plan for Strengthening Fiscal-Financial Linkage to Support High-Quality Economic Development." The plan builds a three-tier (municipal-district-enterprise) government financing-guarantee system, capping average guarantee fees below 1% and prioritising small/micro enterprises and "three-rural" (agriculture, rural areas, farmers) borrowers. It layers in specialised guarantee products across five priority financial verticals: science and technology innovation (innovation-point loans, flow loans, linked loans), green finance (carbon-reduction and transition loans), inclusive finance (emergency bridge loans, government-procurement financing), elder-care services, and manufacturing (technology- renovation guarantees, supply-chain finance products).
On 20 August 2025 Korea's Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) announced a supplementary KRW 100 billion (approx. USD 71.5 million) round of concessional loans under the 2025 Carbon-Neutral Transition Pioneer Project, recruiting applicants from 21 August to 19 September 2025. Loans carry a 1.3% annual interest rate, a 10-year term (3-year grace period plus 7 equal annual installments), and are capped at KRW 50 billion in facility financing per company plus a separate KRW 10 billion R&D-loan ceiling, funding greenhouse-gas-reduction facilities and R&D. EU CBAM-exposed industries, companies with government-approved business-restructuring plans, and firms selected for the "Net Zero Challenge X" program receive priority evaluation points.
The Legislative Yuan of Taiwan (ROC) passed amendments to Article 10-1 of the Statute for Industrial Innovation (產業創新條例) on third reading on 18 April 2025, promulgated by Presidential Decree on 7 May 2025 and effective for qualifying expenditures incurred from 1 January 2025. The amendment expands the scope of the existing Article 10-1 investment tax credit — previously covering hardware, software, technology, or technical services for smart machinery, 5G network deployment, and cybersecurity — to additionally cover (i) AI products or services and (ii) energy-conservation and carbon-reduction initiatives. The maximum eligible expenditure cap per company per taxable year is doubled from NT$1bn to NT$2bn, and the implementation period is extended through 31 December 2029. Secondary legislation operationalising the amended categories was jointly issued by MOEA and MOF on 27 November 2025 as the "Regulations Governing Tax Credits Claimed for Investments in Smart Machinery, 5G Networks, Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence (AI) Products or Services, and Energy Conservation and Carbon Reduction." This is Taiwan's first AI-and-green-tech investment tax credit mechanism in the general-industrial framework, distinct from Article 10-2 (the chip-specific R&D + advanced-equipment credit, "Taiwan Chips Act").
