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 1 September 2026 the European Commission approved a EUR 30 million Portuguese State aid scheme, under the Middle East Crisis Temporary State Aid Framework (METSAF, adopted 29 April 2026), compensating agricultural, fishery and aquaculture businesses for increased fuel and fertiliser costs. Fishing and aquaculture operators receive direct grants of EUR 0.10 per litre of marine diesel consumed between 1 April and 30 June 2026; agricultural beneficiaries receive payments scaled to farm size and livestock numbers to offset higher fertiliser costs. Individual beneficiaries are capped at EUR 50,000 and the scheme runs until 31 December 2026.
On 17-18 December 2025 the Welsh Government published the final guidance and rules booklet for the Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS) — Universal Layer, the successor to the EU-era Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) for Welsh agriculture. The Universal Layer took effect 1 January 2026 and pays a whole-farm baseline (GBP 70/ha for the first 70 hectares tapering to GBP 2/ha thereafter, plus a GBP 107/ha Social Value Payment, habitat and woodland maintenance payments, and a one-off GBP 1,000 Stability Payment for farms ≤100ha) across roughly 905,545 hectares of declared Welsh farmland. Global Trade Alert records the scheme's Universal Layer tranche at GBP 238 million and classifies it as a financial grant / production subsidy; it carries no explicit foreign-sourcing restriction but, as a domestic whole-farm income-support transfer replacing the former EU BPS, structurally continues UK/devolved agricultural production support post-Brexit.
On 22 August 2025, Brazil's Ministry of Agrarian Development and Family Farming (MDA) and Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAPA) issued joint Portaria Interministerial MDA/MAPA nº 12/2025, part of the "Plano Brasil Soberano" response to the US 40% IEEPA tariff on Brazilian goods (Executive Order 14323). The ordinance creates an exceptional, emergency-character public-procurement channel under Law nº 14.133/2021 and Medida Provisória nº 1.309/2025, allowing federal, state and municipal public administration to buy açaí, coconut water, cashew nuts, Brazil nuts, mangoes, honey, fresh grapes and select fish (corvina, snapper, tilapia and other fresh/frozen fish) directly from producers and exporters who can document lost US sales since January 2023. Beef and coffee are explicitly excluded from the eligible-product list.
The People's Bank of China announced on 2025-08-19 an additional CNY 100 billion (~USD 14 billion) in agriculture/small-business relending quota (支农支小再贷款), directing provincial branches to push financial institutions toward greater credit support for flood- and disaster-affected business entities in Beijing, Hebei, Jilin, Shandong and Gansu, with priority for micro/small enterprises, individual businesses, and agricultural and livestock operators. The facility lowers the effective cost of bank funding for the targeted borrower categories via below-market central-bank relending rather than a direct fiscal transfer.
