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 24 September 2026 the Ministry of Commerce's Department of Foreign Trade issued notice 商贸农函〔2026〕163号 publicising, for public comment, the proposed list of 42 enterprises to receive a redistribution of China's 2026 sugar import tariff-rate quota. The public-notice period runs 24-30 September 2026; objections to an applicant's eligibility are to be sent in writing to the Department. The notice and its annex do not state the redistributed volume, per-company allocations or any tariff rate.
The Department of Food & Public Distribution raised the sugar stock-holding limit for bulk consumers — entities producing or consuming more than 10 tonnes of sugar per month — from 15 days to 30 days of consumption, effective immediately ahead of the festive season. The doubled ceiling applies only to sugar sourced under the Advance Authorisation Scheme (AAS) or Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) import routes; stock bought on the open market remains capped at 15 days. Covered consumers must now file a weekly stock declaration every Friday on the DFPD's foodstock.dfpd.gov.in portal.
Peru's Ministry of Energy and Mines, through the Directorate General of Hydrocarbons (DGH), issued Resolución Directoral N.° 137-2026-MINEM/DGH suspending Article 43 of the fuel-marketing regulation (Decreto Supremo N.° 045-2001-EM), which requires producers and wholesale distributors to hold minimum stocks of Premium/Regular gasoline, gasohol, and Diesel B5. The exception is nationwide, applies with retroactive effect from 14 August to 13 September 2026, and responds to logistical and inventory replenishment difficulties (maritime and land transport disruptions) affecting fuel supply continuity. A related, narrower exception to biofuel-blending obligations (ethanol-gasoline and B100 biodiesel-diesel mixing) applies in six regions — Arequipa, Moquegua, Tacna, Puno, Cusco, and Madre de Dios — from 17 August to 1 September 2026. Producers and distributors face a 15-calendar-day adjustment period after each exception lapses to resume compliance, and Peru's energy regulator OSINERGMIN is tasked with monitoring compliance.
President Trump signed Executive Order 14420 on 26 August 2026, declaring a national emergency under IEEPA and the National Emergencies Act over foreign threats to the US bulk-power system. The order generally prohibits the acquisition, import, transfer, or installation of foreign-produced bulk-power system electric equipment — transformers, inverters, battery storage, generators, circuit breakers, turbines, and industrial control systems, including associated software and remote-access capabilities — where a transaction involves a "Covered Foreign Entity" and poses a risk of sabotage, unauthorized access, or catastrophic disruption to critical infrastructure. Local electric distribution facilities are excluded. No countries or companies are named in the order itself; DOE must publish implementing rules within 120 days (by 24 December 2026) identifying covered equipment and entities, and submit recommended Federal Acquisition Regulation revisions within 180 days.
Premier Li Qiang signed State Council Order No. 839 on 20 May 2026, promulgating the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Mineral Resources Law of the People's Republic of China" (8 chapters, 79 articles), effective 15 June 2026. The Regulations are the primary implementing instrument for the revised Mineral Resources Law and establish a unified governance architecture across the entire mineral value chain — exploration, production, processing, stockpiling, and emergency supply mobilisation — with inter-agency coordination spanning MNR, NDRC, MIIT, the State Grain and Material Reserves Administration, NEA, and the State Administration of Mine Safety. The Regulations introduce a three-layer strategic reserve system (physical stockpiles, production-capacity reserves, and in-ground strategic areas), grant the state authority to directly organise mining and distribution during supply emergencies (Article 59), and explicitly authorise countermeasures against nations that restrict China's access to mineral supply chains (Article 76).
Peru's Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) issued Decreto Supremo N° 002-2026-EM on 5 March 2026, modifying Decreto Supremo N° 017-2018-EM (Reglamento del Mecanismo de Racionamiento de Gas Natural) to establish a binding six-tier priority order for natural gas allocation whenever the rationing mechanism is formally activated during declared energy emergencies. Tiers prioritise residential and regulated commercial consumers at the top, followed by CNG vehicle/public-transport stations, regulated industrial consumers by volume threshold, independent consumers with firm contracts, and interruptible-contract holders at the base. The decree imposes binding obligations on natural-gas producers, pipeline-transport concessionaires, distribution concessionaires, and LNG-plant operators to optimise production and supply during declared emergencies, with Osinergmin empowered to grant temporary regulatory exemptions. The decree was triggered by the 2 March 2026 Megantini district rupture of Transportadora de Gas del Perú's (TGP) main Camisea pipeline, which reduced supply to approximately 9–10% of normal capacity and forced Cálidda (Lima/Callao distributor) to cut gas to 850 industrial users and all thermal power plants.
The Cabinet Secretary for Mining, Blue Economy and Maritime Affairs promulgated the Mining (Mineral Royalty Sharing) Regulations, 2026 (Legal Notice No. 3 of 2026) under section 183 of the Mining Act 2016 (No. 12 of 2016), published on 29 January 2026 in the Kenya Law database. The regulations establish the intergovernmental and community architecture for distributing mineral royalties collected under the parent Act: 70% to the national Consolidated Fund, 20% to the relevant County Revenue Fund Account(s), and 10% to a dedicated Community Mineral Royalties Account held in trust for host communities. This is the executive's procedural cure following the September 2025 High Court ruling that voided the 2024 Royalty Collection and Management Regulations (LN 106/2024) for inadequate public participation; LN 3/2026 focuses solely on distribution architecture and is therefore structurally distinct from the collection mechanics of its predecessor.
