General government spending as share of GDP, excluding transfers already captured under fiscal.transfer_expansion to avoid double-counting.
De jure and de facto independence of the central bank from fiscal authority. Per D.1.5 scope, one of the framework's defensible monetary positions.
Rule of law as institutional substrate — contract enforcement, judicial independence, equal treatment before the law. Upstream of most other axes.
South Sudan used IMF staff-monitored and emergency-financing engagement in 2023-2024 to anchor public financial management, cash-management, non-oil-revenue, salary-payment, and oil-revenue transparency reforms. The programme channel sought to reduce arrears and fiscal dominance, improve budget execution, and strengthen reporting around oil receipts in a state where oil exports dominate public revenue.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
Public reporting is programme-level rather than a single statute; this is coded as a coherent IMF-backed reform bundle with weak implementation confidence.
