Financial-sector regulation — banking separation, capital requirements, cross-border activity rules, derivatives oversight.
Trade policy openness — tariffs, non-tariff barriers, FTAs, industrial protection.
Comprehensive financial-sector package announced 14 August 1998 by Finance Minister Tarrin Nimmanahaeminda — the centrepiece of Thailand's crisis-response. Content: (i) Tier- 1 capital support scheme with private-capital-first conditionality; (ii) Tier-2 NPL-resolution capital support; (iii) suspension and intervention of seven more finance companies; (iv) loan classification and loss-provisioning rules aligned with Basel standards; (v) corporate debt-restructuring mechanism (CDRAC) framework; (vi) bank-ownership rules allowing foreign 100% for 10 years. Replaced earlier ad hoc crisis-management with coherent forensic framework. Widely credited with avoiding Japan-style zombie-bank outcomes.
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.
