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.

At a 2026-01-15 State Council Information Office press conference, PBOC Deputy Governor and spokesperson Zou Lan announced eight structural monetary-policy measures, including a CNY 500 billion increase to the agriculture/small-business relending-and-rediscount facility (支农支小 再贷款), within which a new CNY 1 trillion private-enterprise relending line (民营企业再贷款) is carved out to target small and medium-sized private firms specifically. The PBOC also cut relending/rediscount rates across all structural tools by 0.25 percentage points effective 2026-01-19 (one-year relending rate down from 1.5% to 1.25%).
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.
The People's Bank of China announced on 2025-05-07 a CNY 300 billion (~USD 41.4bn) increase to its "支农支小" (support-agriculture, support-small-business) relending quota, taking the facility's total size to CNY 3 trillion. The move is intended to incentivise local corporate financial institutions to expand credit to agriculture-related, small/micro and private enterprises, and was announced alongside a cut to the relending rate and paired increases to PBOC's tech-innovation/equipment-renewal relending quota (+CNY 300bn to CNY 800bn) and a new CNY 500bn service-consumption/elderly-care relending facility, as part of a broader monetary-easing package unveiled at a State Council Information Office press conference.
OFAC final rule (FR Doc 2024-11618, 89 FR 46518) amending the Cuban Assets Control Regulations at 31 CFR Part 515 to further implement the May 2022 Biden administration policy of expanded support for the Cuban people. The rule reinstates the "U-turn" general license (authorizing US banks to process funds transfers that originate and terminate outside the US, neither originator nor beneficiary a US person); replaces "self-employed individual" with the broader "independent private sector entrepreneur" (covering Cuban private businesses up to 100 employees, including private cooperatives); authorizes Cuban nationals in the private sector and located in Cuba to open and operate accounts at US financial institutions (including via online/mobile banking); and expands authorizations for internet-based services to support Cuban civil society and private-sector entrepreneurs. Effective 29 May 2024.
