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 29 April 2025 Brazil's Federal Senate approved two external credit operations, both backed by a Union guarantee, authorizing the national development bank BNDES to raise a combined ~BRL 2.6 billion (~USD 460m). USD 250m (~BRL 1.4bn) comes from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) to fund the BID-BNDES Program for Sustainable and Productive Recovery of MSMEs, prioritising women-led, vulnerable-area and sustainability-linked enterprises that have not yet recovered from COVID-19. JPY 30bn (~BRL 1.2bn) comes from Japan's JICA, split up to JPY 12bn (~BRL 480m) for the medical/health sector and up to JPY 18bn (~BRL 720m) for MSMEs across other sectors, at a concessional 0.01%/year interest rate, 180-month total term and 4-year grace period. Effective the same day as Senate approval; BNDES on-lends the funds via its standard repasse network of accredited financial institutions.
